Yeah you're not biased.LOL. You woke up and this was the first thing in your head. Out of the blue.

Eh, not really once again. You sure do like assuming things don't you? So my day started at 5:15. Watched sports, played with my puppy, got to work, did some work, took my break and figured this would be an interesting topic to revisit now that we are 1/3 of the way through the season.

Also, can't really be bias if I don't have a dog in the fight at all, wouldn't you say?

I'm curious, why SEC over Pac 12? Seems to me that teams like Michigan, Florida and LSU, they've struggled against out of conference teams. They are 7-6 against power 5 conferences, including 0-2 against the Pac 12.

SEC and Pac 12 are close. Wouldn't argue either way to be honest. And Michigan is in the B1G.

Pac 12 best? Really?

They are 7-2 against P5/ND/BYU. And they still have 2 games against ND(which I think the Pac 12 will win both). It's really hard to argue against them projecting forward, and as it currently stands(maybe the SEC has an argument).

I don't care what you did since you woke up. It's the first thing you came here and posted. Did one of us fans of a PAC school start a thread or post first thing something saying it was the best ? No. But the first thing you came here is start talking about this "revisit" you said. Well then it was in your head. Don't deny it. I didn't start a thread oR post the Bg isn't that good first thing this morning.

Eh. I thought Utah being ranked after they beat up on a horrible BYU team was a little premature, but they made up for it in that Zona road win.

Cal is easily one of the most impressive team I've seen all year. Still under-the-radar, should be ranked.

What does it for me are the 5 non-power 5 losses from the Pac 12. Granted, the loss by Baylor against Liberty will probably be the worst loss by a Power 5 school all year long. But the Big 12 as a conference is 11-3 against non-power 5 schools. But, the SEC is undefeated right now in non-power 5 conference games. That's pretty impressive.

Haha once again, you're wrong dude. The first thing I did was post a thread somewhere else about the kneeling for the anthem in the NFL. The second thing I did was talk about stupid ass patriots fans burning jerseys. Then I came here and did this. How bout you calm the hell down and have a civil conversation, otherwise, if you don't care so much about the topic, don't fucking comment on it. Simple as that.

That isn't accurate I can think off the top of my head the conference has lost to UTSA, Liberty, Central Michigan and Ohio.

I've always wondered why we always include ND and BYU when talking about records. I get that Notre Dame is probably the best non-power 5 school but why include BYU in that?

And those 7 wins are against who? I see a remarkably unimpressive win over Rutgers by Pac 12 favorite Washington. I see a miraculous comeback against a very average A&M team. I see Oregon with a narrow home victory against a horrible Nebraska team. Cal has a 5 point win over a trash UNC team and a decent win over an Ole Miss team that's being ravaged by sanctions. I see USC with a narrow home win over an awful Texas team. Finally, I see Utah with a narrow win over a 1-3 BYU team. So, in total, that's 7 mostly very close wins over teams that are a combined 12-15. That's not impressive.

Why wouldn't we if the conferences include them as P5 quality schools?

Eh, not really. Only non-homers can be un-bias. If you think the Pac 12 is the best conference, think again man.
Have I said the PAC is the best conference? You have been lost since you started replying to me.
