Let's get back to the point about Mizzou fans saying they were stepping up to the big leagues. We can now prove, objectively and with data, that's total nonsense. WVU who serves as a proxy for what your schedule would be has this:

Kansas-KSU-Oklahoma-Baylor-TCU as their home slate and a non-con vs Maryland. (This is just their home schedule and doesn't include the Alabama game). There's no way that is less appealing in any way than the pig slop you bring in next year.

If you don't think Georgia and Florida are top 15 programs in college football, you should probably stop talking about college football. Florida had a bad season last year, but it also has won 2 national titles in the past decade and played in 2 additional major bowls.

South Carolina has traditionally not been that good, but it has won 11 games for three straight years while playing an SEC schedule and has been at worst a top 20 program over the past 5 years.

And all of this ignores Tennessee, which currently is not a top program but is traditionally one of the top 15 programs in NCAA history.

KU isn't going to want another football team they can't beat to be let in.

I mean, in what is universally accepted as a DOWN year for the division, the SEC East finished the year ranked 4th by almost all, notably Jeff Sagarin, at the end of the 2013 season.

4th. Behind only the SEC West, the Pac-12 North, and the Pac-12 South. Ahead of the Big 12 and ahead of any division in the ACC or B1G.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Your troll game needs serious work. Incorporate at least a few facts... and try to avoid making bullshit statements so easily dismissed and laughed away.

Allow me to clarify your point: Sagarin had The SEC-E at 78.14 and Big 12 at 78.13. Calling that some sort of win is really humorous.


The West and both divisions of the PAC were ~83 so in truth, both the East and Big 12 were a way back and were equivalent.

Since you were comparing the Missouri and WVU schedules earlier, where does the SEC-E and Big 12 rank this year so we can "objectively" judge them?

[Prison Bitch]

I thought Mizzou "stepped up" their competition? Sagarin was identical but that included Mizzou (who was better than the East avg) and of corse WVU who was much worse than the Big 12 average. So if Mizzou had stayed, they'd have taken points away from the East ad added net points to the Big 12 (+24 over WVU which would've added +2.4 to the average score).


Mizzou left the Big 12 so they could improve the East. Who'da thunk?

Does nothing to refute the ridiculous assertion the 2013 SEC East was Big 12 North level, the whole point of pulling those rankings out.

But I'm glad that you pointed out that in one of its "worst" years, the SEC East was slightly better than the Big 12 in a pretty average year.

I would never make an incorrect statement like that.

Says KU has only played Pitt State in time, October 1919 in Lawrence 42-0 Kansas. Sadly that team lost the last game 13-6 in Lawrence to Mizzery. Thanksgiving Day. We didn't cheat like we normally did apparently
