[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129428743, member: 1428007"] The BIG 12 hasn't gone 2-5 every year so that's not a fair assesment for one thing. The Big Ten had losing bowl records for a decade up to last season and none of you were declaring that conference the Big East. to ignore 3 months of results for one day--a month after the regular season, makes no sense. Looking at last years bowl results paints a different picture anyway. WVU played A&M with a backup QB. Baylor lost by a point to a Michigan State team that needed a perfect set of miracles to happen to come back on Baylor which was easily blowing them out with a very short amount of time left. After the incredible snubbing of TCU and Baylor no one had much to play for anyway, and TCU absolutely destroyed SEC darling Ole Miss that was supposed to be so strong. OOC results over the course of several seasons illustrate a strong BIG 12. All of the strength of schedule results illustrate a strong BIG 12. Its a shame in an effort to downrate the schedule some are creating their own reality and pretending the BIG 12 is not outstanding compared to the other conferences. The SEC may have an edge but its not much--and that has largely been fashioned by the media anyway. [/QUOTE]
