Oklahoma And Texas Have Inquired About Moving To The SEC

College football's best conference may be on the verge of adding more firepower. According to Brent Zwerneman, Big 12 rivals Texas and Oklahoma have reached out to the Southeastern Conference about joining. The traditional football powerhouses have their sights set on forming a 16-team super league.

Per Zwerneman's report, which appears in the Houston Chronicle, an announcement regarding the move could come "within a couple of weeks."

When asked about potentially adding the Sooners and Longhorns to the conference, commissioner Greg Sankey declined to comment:

Oklahoma would be taking a big gamble by leaving the Big 12, which they've dominated in recent years. The Sooners have won six-straight conference titles and would face stiffer competition in the SEC. Texas last claimed a Big 12 title in 2009.

Texas A&M, who is currently the only SEC team residing in Texas, appears unlikely to roll out the welcome mat should the Longhorns and Sooners make the move:

Teams representing the SEC have won three of the last four college football national championships and have sent at least one team to the title game in six consecutive seasons.

Adding Texas and OU to the Southeastern Conference would further enhance the SEC's reputation as the nation's premier college football conference.
