Does the Big 12 even deserve to be a power 5 conference?

What an absolute shite conference. Easily the worst of the power 5. Sure, they have Texas and Oklahoma, but after that it's Steven Glansberg after Steven Glansberg. I mean Baylor, Iowa St., Texas Tech, Kansas State, and West Virginia? Really? I bet the entire state of Kansas comes to a standstill when mighty KSU takes on Kansas in football. lol.
The Big 12 conference is the scout team of life. The American Athletic Conference would absolutely rape the Big 12 top to bottom in football. Academically the Big 12 is also the worst power 5 conference. Texas Tech and West Virginia are literally the two worst schools academically in the power 5. Texas and Oklahoma are the only two schools that even compete for national championships in that conference in any sport.
Which power 5 conference has the least amount of playoff appearances? The Big 12. Which power 5 conference is the only one to not yet have a win in the playoff? The Big 12.
Since 2005, which is the last time the Big 12 won a title in football, the SEC has won 9 national championships. Even the ACC has won 2. Texas and Oklahoma need to join the pac 12 or whatever the frick already and then we can only have 4 power conferences. Would be so much better for college football. There is absolutely no reason why Iowa St. and Texas Tech need to be in a legitimate conference.

This is the SEC board.

Yes if they would add UCF and Boise or USF for football. They can’t get out of their own way though and will continue to make decisions that eventually destroy their conference.

Exactly. Texas has single handedly turned that conference into a complete joke.

Oregon beat Florida St. in that one playoff game in 2014. Pac 12 has a win in the playoff.

Georgia posters have been terrible lately.
I liked them much more before their success, leading shite posters to tRant.

I am licensed to practice law in Georgia and Arkansas. When I took the Arkansas Bar Exam in Little Rock, there was a guy there who was a big Arkansas fan. I started talking to him during our lunch break about college football. He said that Georgia and Arkansas are similar football programs in the sense that we both have good teams but we can never get over the top and win the big game. I almost pissed my pants from laughing so hard when he said that. Arkansas football isn't even close to Georgia football. Since 2000, UGA has had 11 seasons with 10 wins or more. Arkansas has only had 3. Georgia has won 3 SEC Championships. Arkansas obviously hasn't won any. Georgia has won two Sugar Bowls and a Rose Bowl. Arkansas hasn't won any BCS, New Year's Six, or Playoff games.

You're actually comparing Arky to Georgia? Lets get real man. I like Georgia, but with all the resources and high caliber recruits within the state, Georgia has very little to show for it over the years. The quintessential under achiever.

It's official, Zeus would not hire the Big XII into his prestigious mom's basement law firm.

We've done everything you can do short of winning a national championship. This century we have been more consistent as a program than Florida, Auburn, and LSU, even though those programs have won national championships. Talk shite about us not winning NC if you want, but we have been the second most consistent program this century in the SEC behind only Bama.

IMO he was making a relative comparison. uga should be better than you are historically...arkie should be as well.

Damn man, I really got to you with that one post several days ago. I had completely forgotten about that. If I had known you would have gotten your feelings hurt so bad about it, I wouldn't have posted it.

Again, we have reached every success possible in football minus winning a national championship this century. We have been the second most consistent program behind Bama. Auburn won the Natty in 2010 and you made an appearance in 2013, but your program has years in between where you only win 3 games a year and go 0-8 in SEC play. Even in the Mark Richt days UGA consistently won 10 games a year.

Again...uga should be bama based on resources, location, etc...that means anything you do short of bama is underachieving.
Auburn has 3 other seasons in the modern era where the team, with play on the field, did everything it could to be selected a national champion. Not to mention another 5 season where late into the year we were in contention for a title. So you are purposely under selling our achievements. But for arguments sake lets go with your false facts and say Auburn has 1 title, 1 other title appearance, 3 undefeated seasons and a handful of top 5 poll finishes. That still is a significant over achievement for a school named after a municipality (not a state flagship) who shares the state with a blue blood program and a border with a team who probably should be a blue blood program but they underachieve historically.

Dude, Bama is arguably the greatest program in the history of college football. You can't claim that any program "should" be like Bama. UGA really hasn't underachieved as much as you say. Underachieving would be the Florida Gators before 1990. There is a school that has a tremendous amount of resources and talent only to win their first SEC Championship in 1990.
