What conference Titles is Texas going to win that people care about? Football - better chance of a cow landing on the moon Basketball - no Women's Basketball - heck no Women's Volleyball - they will be in the running Track - not going to happen Baseball - wishful thinking (welcome to big boy college baseball) Softball - not happening anytime soon Swimming - maybe Tennis - no one really cares Eventually they’re going to win in every single one of those. Except softball. Even as returning runners up, there’s a huge gap between OU and everyone else. 5 years after entering the SEC, Texas will have more conference titles than any other SEC school in that time period. I can’t vouch for how much anyone will care about any of them, however. That part is true. These are quite the assertions you're making... and I can't tell if you're being sarcastic lol.
It's silly to think Texas is going to steamroll the SEC. But the inverse is true as well. I think Texas will have less conference championships than they did in the Big 12, but they'll certainly be amongst the most successful schools in the conference.

So TTA to Wisconsin. Does that make anyone raise them in the too early poll? I don’t know how differently I feel about them as a team, but I’m awfully impressed with the pick up. I'd slot them at #2, right behind Stanford now.

There’s some role playing going on for sure.

The logic is basically John Cook and the Nebraska team as a whole? It's no shock that Nebraska develops passers and defensive players... so yeah, I have full confidence that Nebraska is a top 5 team. Hard to argue with Nebraska is top 5 because Nebraska! you get it!

y'all have been able to pass for like 6 months lolll Haha I meant the last two seasons. 2022 and 2023. I don’t think anyone thinks I meant 2021😂 Passed well enough in 2020-21 (Spring) to be the national runner-up.

Texas and Oklahoma are in for a rude awakening. The gauntlet of the SEC is much different than beating up on the Big12. I will give the Big12 credit for having a heck of a men's basketball conference but that is about it. "rude" awakening is a bit of a stretch, let's remember that Texas literally just won the Director's Cup. Sure, football will be an outlier but most if not all of the Olympic sports for Texas should and will compete for titles starting on day 1. LMAOO. Like what ? That had to be the most dramatic sentence ever. Rude awakening of what exactly other than football ? The Big 12 is elite at baseball/ softball/ men’s basketball and solid in women’s basketball.

College World Series champions since 2000: SEC: 9 (2000, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022)
PAC-12: 5 (2006, 2007, 2012, 2013, 2018)
ACC: 2 (2001, 2015)
Big 12: 2 (2000, 2002)
And the SEC, PAC and ACC all have multiple teams winning titles in that span -- Big 12 only has 1 (Texas).
