you just cant run out and say a conference is better or worse than another based on a couple of games. doesnt make sense.

People do it whenever the SEC loses. It's clearly the best conference, a couple games wont change that.

actually people do it when SEC wins but when they lose they just bring up the wins, EVERYONE knows the sec is the best

It's just fun because it's all SEC fans do, crow about it. They invented football, after all.

Of course you can't. SEC wins or losses just tend to inspire those sort of nonsense threads because a lot of their fans are so vocal and vehement in believing that conference is head-and-shoulders better than any other. Sometimes the threads stay good-natured, and they can be kind of fun then, but unfortunately they usually degenerate into name-calling and generalizations.

and i might add that even though i am very much an sec fan, particulary alabama, one would be fool to think that we are the end all be all. sure we field great teams a lot of the time, however football is like a fight, there is always someone out there bigger and badder.

I think everyone knows that BIG XII and SEC run the land... and then you have your powerhouse of the conferences making a bid IE: USC... OSU

The Big 12 is top 2 right now, 2003-06 they were like the Big 10 is now.

Maybe it's just cuz I'm from the BIG XII but I always saw TX and OKLAH as powerhouses. Then you got the good ol HUSKERS that blew ass for a while. OKST had a few years where their OFFENSE wasn't bad.

BIG 10 has... an always overrated WISCY TEAM (sorry, no disrespect--it's just how i see them). Iowa is like the HUSKERS. INDIANA is like IOWA STATE. OHIO STATE is a version of TEXAS but take off a little meat. I still think BIG XII has had an edge overall ahead of BIG X. We rarely have a team that is clearly dominant (usually it's 2 teams and sometimes 3) whereas in the BIG X I seem to favor a team big time in the conference and everyone else just wallows around watching.

From 2003-2006 the Big 12 only had OU/Texas, and both were power houses in 2004 only. So my point is that most years they were like the Big 10 in that they had 1 contender, and then a big drop off. 2004 wasn't like that, they had 2, but the rest of the time whoever won the RRS would win the conference.
