It would make sense bc the other 3 p5s might not play the sec and OU and UT want out so maybe. The sec doesn’t like road games ooc which could be the hang up but they could schedule 3 easy at home then travel to big12 and we travel there for their 4 ooc game.
I’m not as concerned about expanding the playoff as I am with getting a scheduling agreement with the SEC. That is $$$$$$$, SOS, and conference viability.
I can see UT and OU try to work in some scheduling agreement with B12 for early release, but not the entire SEC. Even then, the agreement would be with original B12 teams. No way would UT agree to play UH under any conditions.
It’s no different than what UL did with AAC when they left conference.
