You know what was not level? Big 8 football schedules compared to SEC schedules. I used to study the history of college football and apparently back then Oklahoma and Nebraska were the only 2 Big 8 teams any good so it was basically a 1 game schedule for each.

Thats BS

In the 1971 NCAA University Division football season, Big Eight teams finished ranked #1 (Nebraska), #2 (Oklahoma) and #3 (Colorado) in the nation in the AP Poll – the only time in college football history teams from one conference have held the top three spots in the final poll.

In the final AP Poll issued before the Big Eight became the Big 12, half of the conference's teams were ranked in the nation's top 10 (#1 Nebraska, #5 Colorado, #7 Kansas State, #9 Kansas).
