So the Big 12's best half(5) will play the Big's best half(7)?

You're still missing the point.


Then please restate your point because your best cannot compete with our best. Granted one or 2 matchups may go your way(OU over tOSU) but when Iowa State is your 3rd best team and we have at least 5 teams that would ne 10+ point favorites against them, you just don't match up.

The point is a conference with 4 more teams has about a 25% better chance of being able to pick a better team. You can say "your" 5 best but you get to pick from a field of 14 where as the Big 12 gets to pick it's 5 best out of a field of 10.
You're to busy trying to thump your chest to see the difference.

Average strength of teams=strength of conference. It has nothing to do with how many teams you have.

You aren't talking about the average. You said top 5 teams.

See previous post. Mich St talking about not measuring up?

Do you like the gold paint best?

View attachment 181022
Personally I prefer silver, gold is too close to tasting like Notre Dame.

But it’s not our fault you guys smell so bad and forcing everyone to leave your stank ass conference.

Did they consider illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Maryland, and Minnesota?

Northwestern finished # 17 and won their bowl game. And I believe they get a lot back plus a high rated QB.

Still pissing I see.

How does a good sports book in Las Vegas put the Over/Under win totals for the shitty teams. I have placed bets at South Point and this has become my favorite Sports Book.

South Point

ACC

North Carolina 5 wins
Virginia 5 wins

B1G
Indiana 5
Maryland 4.5
Rutgers 4
Illinois 3.5

Big 12
Kansas 3

PAC 12
Az State 5
UCLA 5
Colorado 4
Oregon St 2.5

SEC
Vanderbilt 4

B1G and the PAC are filled with more shitty teams. PAC 12 loses the competition because 4 out of 12 are not veery good.

Or else, no one bets on PAC 12 teams and lots of people bet on SEC teams. This is more like it.

I believe the Big And Pac 12 are required to play 9 Conference games and OCG in the power 5. So there is an that.

Alabama vs Ohio State
Georgia vs Wisconsin
Auburn vs Michigan
Miss State vs Penn State
Florida vs Michigan State
Texas A&M vs Iowa
Missouri vs Purdue (who play this year)
LSU vs Northwestern
South Carolina vs Nebraska
Kentucky vs Maryland

Michigan's defense is stacked, maybe the best in the conference. The offense is different story but it has to be better than last year. I knew my ordering would start debate. If you can do it better than go ahead.

I'm sorry y'all but according to the subjective list I made I see the SEC winning about 2 thirds of those matchups. The SEC is still king.

The Big10 has gotten much better than it was just a few years ago, but I think you have to have teams at the top to even be in consideration for best conference.

I think that is their aurgument. BIG had 3 teams finish the top 10. MSU and Northwestern finished ranked d are expected to be better. Also They said Purdue and Minnesota should be better . Scott Frost is one of the best coaches they said and will turn around Nebraska .

A very rosy forecast. I'm as shocked as anyone that ESPN was heaping so much praise on the BIG. The must have got my emails.
