Sagarin has Big 12 1st
Massey has Big 12 2nd
Colley has Big 12 2nd
Wolfe has Big 12 2nd
Howell has Big 12 2nd

Texas played Alabama to a one point loss with a backup QB and Texas is a four loss team. Texas has the number two strength of schedule in college football. Kansas St has the Number three SOS and TCU SOS is ranked 20th.

Looks pretty good until you find out the B12 has not played for a NC in what 13? years. Never won a playoff game. Meanwhile the SEC has won a pile of NC's, plenty of games, etc..


The Big 12 is not really much of a factor over the last decade + when it comes to football. But the numbers are nice.

None of that has anything to do with today's ratings. SEC is number one and the Big 12 is number two.

No, the Big 12 is clearly not the Forum conference overall. Everyone knows that.

But it is neat that there is a way to make a conference appear to be right behind the SEC when in reality they are miles apart.

Chalk up another "top to bottom" championship for the Big 12.

Top to bottom the SEC is not that much better than the Big 12. SEC, slightly better average rank (one spot) and W-L record. Big 12, Better offense, SEC better defense. SEC, one point better raw rating. Big 12, stronger schedule strength.

Will Georgia win the national championship? Probably. That doesn't mean the SEC is so much better than any other conference. It just means that Georgia is the best team in college football.
