about the sec/big 12 challenge? It will be very embarrassing for the big 12 if they don't win considering that 3 of the sec's top 5 teams will not be participating. That being Auburn, Miss State, and LSU. With that said I do think they will because of 4 automatic losses for the SEC in my opinion. Those losses are Florida, Arkansas, Vandy, and Texas A&M. Bama, Georgia, and South Carolina need to win for our conference to have any shot in my mind.
