Big 12 destroyed two SEC teams this season.
One of them your #2 team.
It is hilarious when aggy-draggie rides the coattails of Bama and Georgia to evoke conference dominance.

Texas beat Alabama at home. 2019 LSU, 2015 Ole Miss, 2012 TAMU, 2011 LSU, and 2010 Auburn are the only teams to do it since Saban went 4-3 at home in his rebuild year in 2007.
2019 LSU and 2010 Auburn won national titles and had a Heisman winning QB. 2011 LSU won the SEC and lost the rematch v. Alabama in the BCSCG. 2012 TAMU had a Heisman winner at QB. 2015 Ole Miss is probably the biggest outlier without a title or Heisman but they were an exceptionally talented team in their own right.
So I think their win in September is worth something. Very few teams have done it since Saban got it rolling Tuscaloosa and all the teams who did it were exceptional.
Besides Alabama, they played a fair number of bowl eligible opponents in the Big-12. Their lone loss was against a strong team with another one of those COVID [year] boosted 5-year starter transfer QBs.

Do you even know what you’re arguing about? Texas is good and went to Alabama and beat the frick out of them. Alabama needed a miracle this weekend to beat an awful Auburn team.
But they did blow out Arkansas by 3 points. lol

Sarge has a thing for making up numbers from whole cloth.

Everyone knows the Big 12 is murderer's row, along with Rice and Wyoming.
Also, you're leaving out one particular team they also played out of conference. I'm pretty sure that team beat every single team on their schedule this year in the SEC yet lost at home to Texas by 10.
I'm sure that omission was totally unintentional though

They play in a conference with 1/3 of the members who were G5 last year. Absolute joke.

The joke is aggy's nonconference opponents.

The true test of the schedule should be you top 5 toughest games
I don't care how many top 50 7 win opponents a team beats, top top 15, maybe top 20 is all that matters
When you are an elite team, there is no difference between a 6-7 win team and a 3 win team in the grand scheme of things

That’s termed wise scheduling when you play in a real conference and not 1 that’s 1 step above G5.

We also play good teams OOC and don't schedule easy win FCS teams.
As far as Big12 vs SEC, BYU went 2-7 in conference this year. They also beat Arkansas in an OOC game.
K State went 6-3 in conference and lost on a last second field goal to Mizzou who is currently ranked 9th and probably the 3rd best team in the SEC this year.
There is a lot of parity between the leagues this year.

Do you just live in a world where you make up outrageous lies to fit your narrative? Did you invent the question mark?

Disagree, Playing teams outside the top 60 or so who cannot beat you means you basically have a bye. You can rest injured players. You can use practices to prepare for better teams.

Yeah, the SEC screwed us scheduling our gimme win for the last day of the regular season next year

Wait, since when does each team determine their own SOS? aggy math would have them #1 every year..and in some ways they wouldn't be wrong. *Insert gif of app state fan with cigar in Pyle field*
