steve dave, do you think there are 5 SEC teams better than the best Big 12 team?
Right now, I'd say 3 to 4 SEC teams are better than anything the Big 12 has to offer. I think Georgia would finish no better than 4th in the Big 12, and we have no idea how good Alabama is yet because of their schedule, but I think Alabama would certainly be up there competing for a Dr. Pepper B12 title.
The problem is none of the Big 12's top 3 teams (TCU/KSU/Baylor) beat anybody worthwhile in the OOC. The best OOC win between the three of us is TCU's blowout of Minnesota, an extremely average Big 10 team. We went toe-to-toe with Auburn, which is impressive, no doubt, but Auburn is just another really good SEC team, along with the Mississippis, and (probably) Bama.
Aside from Georgia (whose resume at this point, is poor compared to the rest of the top 12 outside of Michigan State and Notre Dame), I have no problem with the SEC's rankings.
