re: Was Big 12 football better than the SEC?

I understand that the SEC has won numerous national championships, but over the years the conference has been very top heavy and below average in the middle and bottom.

This is the part that's funny to me. Using the Cotton Bowl as a metric, since it's matched middling teams from both conferences since '99, the Big 12 has only won a single game since 2003.

To some extent, I think you're mistaking success with exposure.
