Summary
As of July 1st, Texas and Oklahoma are official members of the SEC. Ari Wasserman and our SEC pundits at The Athletic, Seth Emerson and Kennington Smith III, list x-factors for every program in the new-look conference. Will a player moving position at Georgia change the complexion of the Bulldogs' defense? Does Alabama have the nation's best OL, and can a true Freshman wide receiver elevate Auburn's offense? Plus, Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione embraces SEC culture by lobbing a granade at a certain someone in LA. Before then, EA Sports Dynasty Mode mega update!
