Jimbo Fisher on Texas, Oklahoma to SEC: 'Be Careful What You Ask For'

After Wednesday's Houston Chronicle report of Oklahoma and Texas looking to end their Big 12 contract in 2025 to join the SEC, it was no surprise to see the topic shared and discussed throughout the conference at SEC Media Day.

Let's just say, opinions from the conference's head coaches have ranged from welcoming, to uninterested, to maybe even a bit self-righteous.

One of those representing the latter was from Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher. Now in his fourth year in College Station, Fisher represents a plethora of unique perspectives. He spent more than 11 seasons at Florida State in the ACC as an offensive coordinator and then head coach from 2010-2017, and currently is the lead spokesman for a former Big 12 school that jumped the ship to the SEC in 2012. Fisher also was the offensive coordinator at LSU from 2000-2006.

"It's the best league in ball, I'm sure they would like to be here," Fisher told Paul Finebaum on the SEC Network.

"I'll say this though, be careful what you ask for if you jump in this league..."

Fisher's Aggies are currently +2500 to win the NCAA Championship over at WynnBET, remarkably high odds despite being listed as the sixth best team in the country. They finished fourth in the final rankings a season ago. But with massive obstacles to climb over Alabama (+250) as well as Georgia (+800) to not just make the SEC Championship game, but the College Football Playoff as well, his comments actually add up.

Oklahoma is currently tied with Ohio State with the third-lowest odds to win the College Football Playoff, but those odds would likely fall closer to that of Texas A&M if the two teams were to be in the same conference.

As for Texas, its 75/1 championship odds would likely plummet to a minimum of 100/1 with teams like Alabama, Georgia, A&M and Florida all ranked way ahead of them in futures odds for the season, and that doesn't even include the Longhorns' current division rival in Oklahoma.

Whether coaches, fans, or media members want the move to happen or not, it's become the topic of conversation and will remain so until a decision is ultimately finalized.

Is Texas A&M getting overlooked in its futures odds this season?
