Beat us, just beat us. Real simple. Playing for number 7 in a row. Most BCS wins, and it's not close. If you ignore facts, polls, results and everything else - you might be able to see it.


And thats the problem with the system. It seems human pollsters base their rankings on previous seasons success. That's a huge fail. Think about it. No conference champion will get in the NCG over a SEC champion with the same record. These 1 loss conference champions will continue to get put behind 1 loss Alabama teams.....regardless if they win their conference.

The Big 12 has been completely non-competitive with the SEC in bowl games in the BCS era. That's not a problem with the system but a problem with the Big 12.

Nevermind Johnny Football...ask that defense that played in the BIG 12 last season and ranked 80th in scoring defense vs. this season in the SEC where they rank in the 20's.


Your not very good at this are you?

ETA: I suppose it is unheard of for a defense to get better with more experience.

All Kansas State had to do in 2012 was NOT GET BLOWN OUT BY FOUR TOUCHDOWNS BY A 7-5 BAYLOR TEAM THAT WAS 4-5 WHEN THEY PLAYED.

All Oklahoma State had to do in 2011 was NOT BLOW A 17-POINT FOURTH QUARTER LEAD TO A 6-6 IOWA STATE TEAM.

Oh, and the Big 12 has put three undeserving teams into the title game in the BCS era:

2001 Nebraska
2003 Oklahoma
2004 Oklahoma

All lost...two lost BADLY.
