Exposure. SEC is the premier conference in CFB. They get prime TV slots every weekend
Talent level. More players from the SEC get drafted than any other conference. So as a possible NFL prospect you have tape that has you going against NFL talent pretty much week in and week out.
Coaching. There are 3 coaches in one division in the SEC that have won a natty as a HC. (Ogeron, Saban and Jimbo) Then there are several in the conference who have won as a coordinator(Kiffin, Mullen, Malzahn, K. Smart, Pruitt).
On field success. The SEC is the only conference to have two teams from the same conference to play each other for a natty in recent history (BCS and CFP).
For an elite prospect in Texas....you can stay in state, play on TV in prime slots consistently, play for a great coach, against great talent and have a higher chance of getting drafted

And this too.
Hopefully we make the Orange Bowl

There’s another phenomenon that happened in TX that people rarely talk about.
When Mack was at Texas and RC Slocum was at A&M, there was a general understanding among HS coaches that their top talent was expected to stay in state, and they tended to steer their guys in that direction.
Something shifted when A&M went SEC, and also Texas and A&M were suddenly led by Chuck Strong and Sumlin. Not only were both schools led by black HCs for the first time, they were guys who did very little to continue the time honored traditions of kissing the HS coaches asses at every chance. Charlie’s philosophy was basically “fuck the coach, recruit the player.” This was the same time you started seeing top guys committing to SEC schools and places like Ohio St.

One thing I always thought was odd with Texas is that historically, y'all very very RARELY recruit legit Quarterbacks. I mean, you guys have had your problems with defense, but what BIG12 team haven't/doesn't. lol
I think that's really been the crux of y'all's program really and that isn't a necessarily Tom Herman problem perse.
Not much different in south Florida
Miami vs UNC next week. Would be a big game if Notre Dame wasn't given permission to be in the ACC this year

Yep!
All that close to home/my favorite team shit out the window now. If they got the talent (3, 4 or 5 star) they're more inclined to go to an NFL pipeline and leave the emotion out of it.

Exactly.....
Easy example I just thought of from watching Bama right now is Cam Sims.
Did relatively nothing while w/ the Tide, but made it to the league and has stuck w/ Washington (has looked decent as well).
