Well there are some cream puffs, but the schedule includes Oklahoma, USC, Texas, Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and even Northern Illinois. Not exactly weak.

So if we put the worst Big Ten team in the SEC, it would be a midlevel team? That sounds about right.

Well we do have Kentucky and Vanderbilt. The Big Ten should be able to handle them most years, but beyond that...

Full of cream puffs.

Big 12 is nowhere near the SEC. What are you smoking drake?

What are you smoking? The SEC and Big 12 alternate in the top conference spot every couple years. The Big 12 was the best conference in the country two years ago. Now the SEC is probably better again, top to bottom. With all the good, young teams in the Big 12, however, it could be back in the top spot soon.

Obviously you don't follow college football. The Big 12 is one of if not THE most competitive conference in college football. This year is definitely a fluke as they don't seem on par with their normal skill level.

Take the season OU won the national championship a few years ago. OU upset #3 Texas (both Big 12 members) the following week OU upset #2 Kansas State (both Big12 members) and the next week OU beat #1 Nebraska (once again both Big12 members)

Oh yeah, real boring conference. Its a shame none of the Big12 members other that OU or Nebraska ever make it to the Big 12 championship. Wonder what would happen if Texas ever won a national championship..........

oh wait, they have.

I follow college football, and have since 1970. The Big Twelve is an improvement on the Big 8, but it still tends to have a couple of teams slaughtering opponents on their way to the showdown game. The addition of Texas in the southern conference and the emergence of occasional forays from Colorada and Kansas State have improved the conference immensely, but it still doesn't provide the sort of games I'm interested in watching on a regular basis. I should know, I live in Boulder and have to watch a lot more Big 12 football than I'd like, simply because it's our local conference. At least it isn't just wishbone offense anymore.

Despite all the wonderful high ranking matchups between the often overrated Big 12 teams, a lot of these games plainly suck. Exhibit A is the meeting between a highly overrated Texas last week against Oklahoma. Only a Sooner fan could love a game like that, and many of them probably turned the channel at some point to watch a game where the issue was in doubt after the 1st quarter.

Don't let Oklahoma-Texas turn you off of the Big 12. Most coaches in the Big 12 are better than Mack Brown.

What sikander said. The big 8 plus 4 sucks. yeah. Nebraaska is perrenially good. The bottom of the league is WACish.

[Drake Tungsten]

Nebraaska is perrenially good. The bottom of the league is WACish.

Were you at sea last season?

[TCO]

sorta. I live in the past. Bi8 and SWC are subordinate to the SEC, Big 10 and PAC10

[Drake Tungsten]

I envy you. I wished I lived in the past, before Nebraska had all of their record streaks broken.

Finally, someone who knows what he's talking about!

Nebraska is kicking the **** out of Texas A&M, 41-6. Blackshirts have forced 7 turnovers. Almost makes me forget about last week. Almost...

[Drake Tungsten]

Make that 8 turnovers. 48-6

[Jac de Molay]

Go Michigan State! Eked out a win over Minnesota and still undefeated in the Big Ten .

Damn it, I wish the DAWGS would play more than 30 minutes a game!
