It seems human pollsters base their rankings on previous seasons success. That's a huge fail.

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.

Any significant SEC non conference win? I said significant so don't come with wins against ACC teams. Myself and 10 kids on my block can win that conference.
So DOMINATING wins over an 11-win Florida State team and a 10-win Clemson team don't count?
Let's quickly go over the best non-conference wins your POS conference has:
-Iowa State beat a 10-win Tulsa team that they have to play again in a bowl.
-Oklahoma State beat an 8-win Louisiana Lafayette team.
-Kansas State beat a 7-win Miami team who removed themselves from bowl consideration.
Meanwhile:
-Florida beat an 11-win Florida State team, an 8-win Bowling Green team, and an 8-win Louisiana Lafayette team.
-Kentucky beat an 11-win Kent State team.
-Missouri beat a 7-win Arizona State team.
-Tennessee beat a 7-win N.C. State team.
-Alabama beat an 8-win Michigan team and a 7-win Western Kentucky team.
-Arkansas beat a 10-win Tulsa team.
-LSU beat a 7-win Washington team.
-Texas A&M beat a 9-win Louisiana Tech team.
That's 11 wins out of conference vs. teams with a winning record by the SEC compared to 3 from the Big 12.

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.
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.

Not necessarily....and not that much better. That's a big difference in one season.

Factors you're not considering:
1. Mark Snyder is a far better defensive coach than Tim DeRuyter.
2. Charles McMillan was the worst defensive backs coach in A&M history. Every defensive back regressed under him. He was the DB coach under Franchione AND Sherman. Defensive backs were soft, out of position, and played 10+ yards off the LOS on almost every play under his reign.
3. A&M's personnel were far more suited for a 4-3 scheme than a true 3-4. Damontre Moore's natural position was weakside defensive end and DeRuyter had him at OLB.
4. Larry Jackson is possibly the best strength and conditioning coach in the country. Last year we were gassed by halftime. This year, we were mauling people after halftime.

Big 12 is not better than the SEC. This is so stupid.
