I wouldn't be surprised either. Again, they are not rational.

This is why I said a year or 2 back the teams outside the SEC & T1e8n should leave those conferences to their own devices and strike out on their own. You put too many big fish in a small bowl, some of those fish are going to loose weight. Cause there is only so much to eat and not every fish can swim as good in a crowded pond. LSU is FAFO. Oklahoma is FAFO. Texas is FAFO. Penn St is FAFO. USC is FAFO. UCLA is FAFO.

Every league has to have a top, a middle, and a bottom. When too many "tops" get put in the same league, some of them are going to have to fall to the middle. It is too hard to maintain. Before, those schools had to 2, 3 teams tops that could actually beat them on the schedule. Nine, 10 wins was a given. Now they have 5,6 games against an equal or better. That's a lot more middle. They don't look dominant any more. That is an inevitable loss of status. A reality they have not let themselves foresee.
