The move to the Big 12 was fun the first couple years, playing teams you never played before or only played once in a blue moon. But eventually the new wears off and it's just not the same. DMV is full of VT, MD, Pitt, Penn St grads etc and not being able to look forward to play those teams became a huge bummer.
This is my fear with the SEC and from afar the Big Ten with the latest round of realignment. Oklahoma and Texas will be fun, but not at the expense of us playing auburn and Florida or Alabama every year. You just can’t replace those 50-100 year old rivalries overnight. Auburn is really only a 30 year rivalry but it has had as many memorable games in that time as many 100 year old ones do. It’s a shame it’ll likely go away.
It’ll be like the NFL. Probably better technical football for a few more games, but that passion that makes CFB special will be kind of obliterated.

Agreed about not playing UF and Auburn, but I think there's a big difference in West Virginia playing schools in the middle of America and the SEC adding Texas and OU. There's already a ton of Louisiana and Texas overlap that creates a natural rivalry even though they haven't played a bunch throughout history.
Plus, I always hear cheers from the student section when they show Texas losing highlights in Tiger Stadium so it's clear there is some disdain there and it won't be tough to get them up for those games.

You can certainly add Ole Miss to that list too.
