Big 12 better than the SEC, at least at the top

Let’s look at the facts.......

Of games played by top 4 BIG12 teams:
#1 Oklahoma loses to bama but plays them closer than any SEC team has this year (save Georgia)
#2 Texas absolutely PUNKS Georgia dominating from start to finish against the clear 2nd best team in Sec all year
#3 West Virginia loses to Syracuse but ONLY because they are missing their key piece quarterback who was arguably the most important single player to any bowl team this season, would’ve easily won with will grier
#4 Iowa State barely loses to a 13 ranked Washington state team in a game that is widely considered referree assisted for Wazzu.

Additionally, middle of the pack/slightly bad big 12 teams beat middle of the pack sec teams convincingly. Baylor-Vandy was a push of two lowly ranked conference teams, but when it was all said and done Baylor hung 700 yards on them. Oklahoma state literally went THREE AND SIX in big 12 conference play but controlled the whole game against an 8 win SEC team. Is it about time we realize that 1) sec scheduling is clearly weaker and inflates bad teams records with the one less conference game and 2) the big 12 may not have as many good teams as sec (it’s also not fair to compare 10 teams vs 14, but I digress) but the league has a more modern scheme which is at the moment is more effective football than what the sec plays. Add in the chasm sized quarterback play disparity between the two leagues (ehlinger was the 3rd or 4th best big 12 qb this year, while if he were in the sec we’d be arguing he’s possibly the best) and the big 12 just got it done more so this year and was the better conference. I’m an sec fan but it’s just really hard to argue with results. I think going into next year big 12 is the conference to bear, and is the one conference that could potentially have 2 playoff teams, if both Texas and Oklahoma truly play to the peak of their powers next year.
