The Great Texan Exodus: Where in the SEC will Oklahoma and Texas Land? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not a Land Grab)
Howdy, college football fans! Buckle up for a lesson in conference realignment that's messier than a two-step after a ten-gallon hat full of sweet tea. This year, the SEC welcomes the legendary Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns, but here's the kicker: there are no more divisions, y'all!
That's right, folks. The SEC tore down the East vs. West walls faster than a runaway armadillo through a cactus patch. So, where do these gridiron giants fit in? Well, put on your thinking chaps, because it's about to get strategic.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.

The Demise of Divisions: A Match Made in Scheduling Heaven (and Commissioner Chaos)
The SEC honchos decided cramming 16 teams into two divisions would be a logistical rodeo. Imagine Alabama having to fight its way through a gauntlet of Texas, Oklahoma, and LSU just to sniff the SEC Championship Game? Talk about heartburn! So, they scrapped the divisions altogether.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
This means Oklahoma and Texas get to play everyone (well, almost everyone) in the conference, creating a free-for-all worthy of a good ol' fashioned chili cook-off.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
But wait! There's more! This also throws the SEC Championship Game wide open. The top two teams in the conference, regardless of geography or past rivalries, will duke it out for the coveted title. So, get ready for some epic showdowns that could rewrite the history books (and maybe even cause a few earthquakes in Norman, Oklahoma).
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.

The New Frontier: A Lone Star Welcome (Everywhere You Look)
While Oklahoma and Texas won't be assigned a specific division, they'll certainly be welcomed with open arms (and maybe a side of barbecue) by the entire conference. Just imagine the sold-out stadiums, the rabid fan bases, and the sheer chaos of a Texas-Oklahoma game played not in the Cotton Bowl, but smack dab in the middle of SEC country.
This is a new era for the SEC, folks. One filled with more rivalries than you can shake a stick at (or, perhaps more appropriately, a lasso).
How about some side effects of this conference shake-up? We might see a surge in ten-gallon hat sales, a nationwide shortage of burnt orange and crimson clothing, and a dramatic increase in the consumption of queso. But hey, that's just the SEC for ya - always keeping things interesting!
