Big 12 vs. SEC

[Micheal]

i think we can all agree that tennessee was way overrated. and kudos to UCLA. gotta love college football.

i watched that game, great one

How is Georgia overrated? They will be making a National Championship run, but they have a bear of a schedule.

I would have to say that the top teams from what I have seen so far (which isn't much) are USC and Georgia with Oklahoma a very close third.

So which conference is better? There are some convincing arguments for both conferences.. Let's stack them up side by side. The best team in the Big 12 plays the best team in the SEC. Big 12 #2 vs. SEC #2. And so on.

(I will match by rankings in the AP poll)

#4 Oklahoma vs. #2 Georgia

#6 Missouri vs. #5 Florida

#10 Texas vs. #7 LSU

#12 Texas Tech vs. #9 Auburn

#14 Kansas vs. #13 Alabama

Nebraska vs. #25 South Carolina

Oklahoma State vs. Tennessee

Colorado vs. Kentucky

Iowa State vs. Arkansas

Kansas State vs. Vanderbilt

Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State

Baylor vs. Ole Miss

 

Which conference would win the majority of these games?

I don't see any easy victories by the Big 12, while the SEC has some gimmies. I think Florida, Alabama, and the bottom four win easily. To me, this is the easiest way to see that the Big 12 still hasn't caught up to the SEC. But it sure would be fun to watch.

Does anybody think the Big 12 could actually win this matchup?

To a point I agree...but the only gimmies are Alabama vs. Kansas and Ole Miss vs. Baylor.

That is what they said about Va Tech in the Orange Bowl. Oh, how did that end? They may beat us, but it would be no Gimmee....

That said, they are better, but not by as much as everyone says.

VaTech/ACC = overrated.

:yeah

because Clemson got their @ss's handed to them on a silver platter. You can't say the Virginia Tech game was an upset because ECU is a good team.

Yeah good point, but that's 1 team.

My thoughts....

OU over Georgia, as long as they dont play in Arizona...

Florida over MU, MU's defense just looked terrible vs Illinois

Texas over LSU, QB difference at Texas makes the difference in a nail bitter.

TT over Auburn, I dont have faith that AU can score enough to keep up with Harrell.

Bama over KU, but a damned close game. I dont think Bama is as good as Clemson made them look.

NU over USC.

Tenn over OSU, the cowboys are worse in big game situations than Tenn is.

CU over Kentucky, I know I know, but I watched the first CU game, and they looked pretty good.

Arkansas over ISU. The clones just dont have the horses.

Vandy over KSU. No faith at all in Freeman and JUCOmpany. Remember Fresno last year?

MSTU over A&M. If you cant beat a Sun Belt team, you dont have a hope of wining vs the SEC.

Ole Miss over Baylor, Do I really need to say anything?

So I have the Big 12 winning 5 and losing 7. The bottom half of the Big 12 still has too many weak teams.
