Wasn't hard to figure out after Oklahoma's curb-stomping of Alabama.

The Big 12 is simply a higher level of football and basketball.

Oklahoma soundly defeating the West's best program last year in the Sugar Bowl definitely put the brakes on that for me however. Oklahoma is perhaps the 3rd best team in the Big 12 and would cruise by most teams in the SEC. They "could" beat them all.

We don't have so much of a track record for Baylor on this and I openly blame Baylor for not scheduling as tough as other schools. This is why TCU is sitting here now poised to enter the 1st ever college football playoff. They have a history of winning in the BCS and scheduling tough non-con competition.

I understand Baylor feels that playing all 9 teams in their conference should balance this out but obviously the committee is saying otherwise.

It's hard to take teams from the SEC seriously anymore being that the scheduling in that conference is so bad. I mean you have a team in Missouri that is playing in the conference championship game while only beating one team with a winning record in two years... How is that even possible?

The SEC is hilariously close to being out of the playoff altogether which would be quite ironic being that it was the SEC who decided that a conference championship game was a good idea in the first place (1992).

The sports in the Big 12 have become so strong thanks to cutting bottom feeder programs like mizzou, colorado, etc and moving into these new times with a clear direction. As a KU fan I couldn't be happier. My only concern is getting the football program back to national prominence while the Jayhawks have to compete with 8 other seriously deadly football programs. Iowa State will never be good so they'll always have that but the easy wins against Colorado, Missouri, rotational schedule, etc are all gone.

We still have basketball which was solidified with defeating Michigan State on Sunday but it's going to have to be all hands deck moving forward in this conference.

KU? I dunno, probably Georgia Tech a couple years ago. Not really a big deal.

KU is like an Arkansas in the SEC right now. They're bad and hoping to get better. Just need the right coach.

When did Mizzou or Arkansas ever beat someone ranked that high?

wtf are you talking about? Do you mean like Arkansas beating Ole Miss who beat MSU? Is this the type of nonsense you seek? Serious question.

OK, and they lose all the rest. I'm not sure why you're picking the battle over who's better between Arkansas and KU.

What's it matter? I'm talking about how high the league is flying right now. KU is near the bottom but who cares? So is Arkansas, Iowa State, and the entire SEC East.

LMAO
