First, they are the biggest teams left on the expansion board. They have the stadiums like the rest of most of the SEC. Thus, they are the best gets to increase the coffers of the SEC
Second, the ACC is in bed with ESPN just like the SEC. There is no real addition for ESPN if the SEC raids the ACC. Remember that the ACC was greatly aided by ESPN when the Big East refused an offer from ESPN. ESPN made sure that the Big East would not survive. Likewise, the Big 12 is not fully invested by ESPN. Thus, the marriage of TX and OK with the SEC would increase ESPN's coffers and make more money while hurting FOX.
These are the reasons I expect TX and OK to go to the SEC. Television revenue is more important than pride.
