I understand that the SEC is considered the premier conference, but I have long felt that if the Big 12's best played the SEC's best, the Big 12 would prevail, or at least make it interesting.
This is why I want to see Oklahoma and UT win their games against Alabama and Georgia respectively.
I felt that OU should have beaten Georgia last year in the playoff, but for some odd reason, Lincoln Riley did not allow the Heisman Trophy winner, Baker Mayfield, to throw a single pass in overtime. It was like he got away from what got him there.
I believe that the Longhorns can catch the Bulldogs in a lull, because of their loss to 'Bama in the SEC championship (when they had the lead) and UT still owes the Bulldogs for that upset loss in the Cotton Bowl back in 1984. (Does anyone even remember John Lastinger?)
I know that OU and UT do not raise sympathy in many Baylor fan's eyes, but should our Bears beat Vanderbilt (also an SEC team) then wins by UT and OU will only enhance our conference's reputation.
For the sake of the Big 12, "Hook 'em, Horns," and "Boomer Sooner."
