What do you guys think about this...

Thanksgiving week is traditionally college football's Rivalry Week so I can see the RRR being moved to that week as probably the most logical choice for Texas since OU typically plays OSU the following week. A&M is then left in a tough spot because that week is the LSU/Arkansas game which would have been the logical choice for A&M.

If UT wants a higher rated school for national exposure like ND, then the problem there is that is the week ND plays USC or Stanford in alternating years.

Ponyman, while it's funny, Vandy has a OOC game that week (this year it's Wake Forest) so that might actually happen.

If the Texas/A&M rivalry can't continue, and Mizzou is accepted to the SEC I would like to see UT/OU, Mizzou/Arky, A&M/LSU that week personally.

That brings up the point that A&M was accepted into the SEC because of Academics AND it opens the Texas market to the SEC. They only wanted OU so they could get into the OK market. If it was only about academics, they would take Mizzou, but apparently right now they don't have the votes even though Mizzou is an AAU school.

Just thinking out loud.
