You do know that your conference was 7-30 against ranked AP teams this year, right?

SEC still stronger

Outside of Texas, Texas Tech, OU, and Okie St who else is there? Missouri? Give me a break. Both Kansas schools aren't very good...Nebraska and Baylor are getting better but a long way off, Iowa St is garbage, Colorado is average and almost beat Nebraska. I think you've got some really great offenses but that is only one aspect of the game. You can look at the numbers of the defenses of the top big 12 teams versus quality opponents and see what you get.

But you still lost to SC.. in Oxford. After Ole Miss had beaten UF in the Swamp. And at that time SC was 1-2 in the SEC.. so dont give me all this well Ole Miss wasnt that good bullshite.

Congrats, Ole Miss... like SC, has taken advantage of the weakening of the SEC and beaten a few teams they wouldnt normally beat. But what you dont get is that regardless... SC > Ole Miss because 31 > 24.

You were up 14-3 at one point in that game. No reason that SC should have won that game except that SC is better!

Texas Tech is going to roll Ole Miss. The Ole Miss secondary is horrible.

SEC's not stronger. IMO, the conferences this year are:

1. Big 12

2. SEC
3. Big 10
4. ACC

5. Pac 10














6. Big East


2, 3, and 4 are really, really close, almost interchangeable.

Anyone who says the SEC is the strongest conference is essentially an idiot. Outside of Alabama and Florida, there is only one halfway decent team in Ole Miss. Everyone else is pretty bad.

You do know the PAC-10 is 3-1 vs the Big-10 with our #4 team beating your #3 team and your only win being your #1 team over our #3 team.

After USC puts the beatdown on Penn St. and we go 4-1 with our #1 beating your #1 and #2, and our #4 beating your #3 there is no way you can say the big-10 is better than the PAC-10.

This past decade the PAC-10 has completely dominated the Big-10.

SEC is extremely down this year. Hence Bama's ability to go undefeated. Bama and Florida are the only SEC teams that are better than a year ago. Big12 is the best.

They've improved alot as the year has gone on. And Texas Tech has never played a D-line like ours. It will be a lot closer than you may think. We might even pull it out.
