RE: Could This Year's CFP Speed Up Realignment?

Texas is getting a little overshadowed by A&M now so there's significant motivation for UT to follow. Texas probably doesn't want to be seen as following A&M though.
The confluence of all of these priorities is this...
SEC adds Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Kansas
In the first bolded section, Texas definitely doesn't want to be seen as a follower. Perhaps we should expect a "staged begging" of some sort by the conference and Texas "begrudgingly" agreeing to join the conference. Not saying that will happen, but I could see Texas attempting to orchestrate that.
In the second bolded section, I changed Houston to TCU. I love the Cougars, but, with Texas A&M already in the conference and Houston area and TCU being a power school in DFW, I don't see Houston being a viable candidate for the SEC.
You could make divisions and yours were probably as good as it gets. I'm going to propose no divisions. Each school has 7 annual rivals and plays 3 of the other 12 each year so you'll play all 20 schools within the 4 years.
