re: Pac12 south harder than SEC west?

Arizona beat UNLV, UTSA and Nevada. The last two in one possession games. Lost to Boise in bowl. USC, the best team in the division(at least in the starting 22), beat Fresno, lost to BC, beat ND and then beat Nebraska in bowl. UCLA had narrow wins over Memphis, Virginia and Texas. Their win over Memphis is arguably the division's best non con win a year ago. Beat KSU in bowl game. ASU beat weber st, New Mexico and Notre Dame before defeating Duke in bowl game. Utah beat, Idaho st, Fresno and Michigan before handling Colorado St in the bowl. It's no surprise with those non conferences combined with getting to play Oregon St, Colorado and Washington st in conference games that many of them won nine games. Their bowl record against a very average slate has inflated thoughts on the division. I think the teams were mostly decent but I also believe that Arkansas would have won nine or ten games with any of their schedules. It's a solid league this year but still not close to the sec west.
