Auburn football: 2 SEC schools to relegate to make room for OU and UT

Auburn football defensive lineman Derrick Brown (5) swallows up Texas A&M running back Jacob Kibodi (23) at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019. Auburn leads Texas A&M 14-3 at halftime.

The college football world has been set ablaze by the news that the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns will soon be making their way to the SEC, where some of college football’s most valuable programs play, with Alabama, Georgia, and Auburn football leading the way in the southeast.

Texas and Oklahoma were the #1 and #7 revenue-earning schools in 2018, and their inclusion in college football’s already-preeminent powerhouse conference swings the scales so far in the favor of the SEC that other conferences may already be feeling where this could lead.
