To me it's hard not to see texas undefeated next year. Until the bcs chamionship game of course which will be a complete disaster (probably). The big 12 already sucks and will be worse next year. The only big 12 team that seems to have improvement potential is ut (?). OSO and baylor will have a huge drop off. TCU might be the toughest game pending who bolts from OU. Unless WVU is actually in the big 12 and texas plays there. A&M will be good faster then you think. LSU has been moderately consistant from season to season. Ark and Auburn are inconsistant. Bama is the mainstay. All you need is to win SEC west. I do believe you joining the SEC will help you keep recruits that would have considered LSU more then your competeing with the country club known as texas. Within 4 years you will be in cotton. Sherman or no sherman.
