Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC in all sports on July 1 .
The Longhorns and Sooners will play in the toughest, deepest and most successful football conference.
The SEC has produced 13 of the past 20 national champions -- 14 if you include Texas ' title in 2005 .
Sooners coach Brent Venables describes the SEC as "unforgiving".
The playoff moving from four to 12 teams this season should make opportunities more plentiful.
The four schools to join the SEC in its previous two expansions are still looking for their first conference championship.
Since that first expansion in 1992 , only six schools have won an SEC title -- Alabama, Auburn , Florida , Georgia , LSU and Tennessee .
Texas and Oklahoma have been working to make the transition as seamless as possible.
The move to the SEC became more feasible as the landscape around the sport shifted.
The first realistic chance for the schools to play again in football would be sometime in the 2030s .
