We have potential.
It just seems that while y'all are currently on top (i guess) of the Big 12, why jet to the SEC when there's the potential to round out the bottom of the west for a few years?

You're missing the point. Why does Notre Dame still look attractive to the Big 10 after a decade of sucking on the field?
TV Eyeballs.
On the field performance is secondary to TV market performance. No one is claiming we've been a good football team the last 10 years.
If anything, A&M history of moderate success is actually a selling point to the SEC. We are a solid, historical program. The strength of a conference is in its middle. Every conference has 1-4 teams which are MNC hopefuls every year. The difference in quality is the SEC has another 6 teams below those that which can compete for a conference championship every year, and the occasional MNC. No other conference has that. THAT is what makes the SEC the premiere conference.
