A&M’s move to SEC ranked 2nd-best decision in CFB over last 10 years
As you're probably aware, we're still smack dab in the middle of internet rankings season, and this is a new one: Sports Illustrated has ranked the ten best decisions over the past ten years in college football.
(Side note: ok, ok, this is not an actual ranking, but they listed them in a pretty deliberate order, so I'm taking it as one. Sorry, not sorry.)
To nobody's surprise, the NCAA's decision to replace the BCS with the College Football Playoff is easily #1. As it should be.
And then comes #2: Texas A&M's decision to move from the Big-12 to the SEC! SEC! SEC! It's not a hard argument to make (unless you live in Austin or Waco), but here's an excerpt from their reasoning:
Many programs have seen their national status barely bolstered by their new allegiances. Others (Missouri, TCU) enjoyed quick success before returning to the middle of the pack. And though Texas A&M hasn’t won a conference championship or made the College Football Playoff since it joined the SEC in 2012, its move will have the highest and longest-lasting payoff of any recently realigned team.
...
Every season since joining the conference, Texas A&M has held its own, and its football product is unequivocally better than it was in the Big 12.
