Why do people continue to say the big 12 sucks?

When the polls release tomorow, we will most like have 3 of the top 6 teams in the nation, depending on where they slot in Ohio state.  If thats a weak conference, what does it take to be considered a strong conference?

Stupidity would seem to be the obvious choice.

Off the top of my head:

Because the Big XII doesn't have any notable big wins from the OOC part of the schedule.

Because the top team in the south (OU) lost to Colorado, who lost badly to ASU, KSU and today lost to ISU.

Because the top team in the north (ku), while undefeated, has a horrible SOS and hasn't beaten anyone ranked.

Because the .500 teams in the conference have lost some real jaw droppers... I don't want to talk about this one... lol

Maybe bowl season will prove me wrong.  Doubt it tho.
