A Big 12 Team Won the SEC, A Pac 12 Team Won the B1G
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
the SEC has the best players, as evidenced by their draft production
the SEC has the most programs to have won a national title, also
best players, best teams, best coaches = best conference
none of the above can really be argued
also the hardest
but clearly not impossible since a Big 12 team just ran roughshod through it
however, I suspect the Big 12 is much better than everyone here wants to give it credit for
Why the playoffs are going to be so awesome. Won't be able to judge off 1 year alone, but the answers will be obvious over time.
They lost handily to Georgia, an SEC team, they did not run roughshod.
Did it take you the weekend and two days figuring that one out. Knew that Sunday morning.
it was more of an ambush than a manhandling if we're being honest.
Hardly. Oregon looked pedestrian a few times this season. Most recently against Wisconsin. A team Nebraska beat handily.
Still, though. It is true that Texas and Oregon ended the regular season atop their respective conferences. It is also true that Texas and Oregon were stacked this year and would have finished atop literally any conference this year.
because regular season means nothing if one faceplants like Iowa did in 2015
yes and the whole argument is crap.
PAC12 may have been the best last year but that is all one can glean from it
I thought it was interesting because all the P2 chest thumpers here look down their nose at the Pac 12 and Big 12
and now they're looking up at teams from those leagues that have come in and finished the regular season atop their respective standings
one can also glean the B1G and SEC are not as strong as those fans (and our apologists) would like to believe
players will opt out in bowl games
coaches will not coach in bowl games
playoffs are a very small sample size
the regular season is the best measure of a conference's strength and what used to be a hypothetical argument now has actual data points
it's interesting IMO
As of now the B1G are the national champs. Anxious to see how it goes in this years playoff.
no, he's just incapable of agreeing with anything I say because I trigger him to Pluto
that he's bringing up a very narrow set of data points to prove some weird point?
haven't seen that done before...
I don’t see any challenge from you
Just passive aggressive quips, as usual
It’s fine if you still believe the P2 to be head and shoulders above the others despite this new and relevant information
You said that the PAC12 was perhaps the best conference "after all".
What years do you believe they were the best conference?
The Pac 12 produced 2 power conference regular season champs this year
The B1G and SEC combined for zero
Oregon and Arizona State aren't in the PAC12 and Texas isn't in the Big12
Oregon isn’t in the Pac 12 but they are a Pac 12 team
Not a single person on the planet would refer to Oregon in 2024 as a “B1G program”
I don’t expect you to understand this extremely obvious and straight forward thinking.
You are probably too stoned.
How long does the PAC get to take credit for "producing" their former teams?
Has Oregon received a single penny of its HALF share of the B1G money yet?
I don’t think so.
That’s how long.
Starting in ‘25 these programs will belong to their new leagues.
