Because, with tu in the SEC, we will lose some of our recruits to them, and that will make it harder for us to beat Bama.
It's clear as day.
Bama won't be good forever like the the years between Stallings and Saban. If Dabo takes over there may still be some hiccups.
The Gators are the only team in the SEC from FL which doesn't guarantee them success, even with FSU and the U in the gutter the past ten years. Conversely, the state of Florida is proof that three teams simultaneously can be competitive. Perhaps coaches like Spurrier, Bowden, and Butch Jones had more to
do with it.
Also, recruiting since tu won a title has changed drastically because TX high schools don't produce SEC caliber defenders anymore (mainly LB's and safety's). We have to compete with several other teams and states now for them.
