SEC vs. Big 12

Well, this year, which the only year that is relevant, we have only two head to head matchups.

(South #2) Okie State beat (East #2) Georgia.
(West #6) Arkansas beat (South #5) Texas A&M.

I don't think we learn a lot from those games. You can point to the MNC game or the Cotton Bowl from last year all you want. But we all know that Florida and OU are different teams, as are Ole Miss and Texas Tech.

How about the OOC records?

BIG TWELVE
OOC Record: 35-13
Wins against FBS: 26
Major win: Oklahoma State d. Georgia

SOUTHEASTERN
OOC Record: 35-5
Wins against FBS: 25
Major wins: Alabama d. Virginia Tech
Auburn d. West Virginia
OOC Games left: 8

These records are relatively similar, with the SEC's being slightly better. The BIG XII has played more OOC games, but they have lost more. They have also beaten one more FBS team. The SEC has 8 conference games left, and would have to lose all of them in order for the BIG XII to win this little head to head.

So, in general, the SEC is better in this department but not by a whole lot.
