Don't try and be rational with him. The concept of defense is foreign to the man. -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:28
Well, if we're going to go by a single match-up, then I guess we'll both agree that the Pac-10 is currently the toughest conference in the land. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 20:40 30
- I'd go by the fact they were 5&0 in bowls to make that argument myself, but really - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:42 28
  - My point is that if we're going to use a single snapshot as the only basis of conference strength, let's at least use something broader ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 21:17 23
    - So, let's ignore the game where a second tier SEC team beat a top tier Big 12 because that hurts your argument? -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:36 22
      - No, not at all. I'm saying that one game doth not a conference make. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 21:42 21
        
        Which is better, 5-2 or 3-2? - David Jan 2, 21:56 20
        
        Which is better, 5-2 or 5-0? - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:01 19
        
        Show the actual stats rather than vaguely mentioning them and we'll talk. Until then, they're irrelevant. - David Jan 2, 22:12 18
        
        What do you think I've been working on for the past week? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:18 4
        
        A list of people who are in no way, shape or form the same level of box office draw to Adam Sandler, apparently. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:22 3
        
        Ppppffffttt -- that took me half an hour. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:26 2
        
        I don't know whether you mean the Sandler List or Big 12 stuff, but I'm assuming it's about equal in terms of nonsense. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:30 1
        
        My comprehensive statistical analysis of the SEC versus the Big-12 has occupied about 2 hours a day for the past week. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:32
        
        2007 bowl results... - David Jan 2, 22:18 12
        
        2006 bowl results - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:23 5
        
        No. - David Jan 2, 22:28
        
        looks up... looks down... well something's not right. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 22:24 3
        
        Just like a Big 12 guy: all offense, no defense. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:29 2
        
        Isn't Iowa State in the Big 12? Doesn't that settle it right there? -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 22:33 1
        
        Since they weren't in a bowl game in 2006, not really. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:36
        
        2006 bowl results... - David Jan 2, 22:22 5
        
        I don't know what you're looking at, but it's wrong information. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:24 4
        
        I think you should do your own research rather than crib off someone else. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:29 2
        
        I'm using Wikipedia as a handy-dandy little shorthand to combat you here and now. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:31 1
        
        See, that would be cribbing off someone else. - David Jan 2, 22:35
        
        2005 bowl results - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:25
  - You're not giving Mississippi enough credit. They seemed to play to their competition but they won at Florida and LSU and played tough at Alabama. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:45 3
    - They're a good team, but they ain't national title worthy as proven by the 4 losses - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:47 2
      - Yeah, Ole Miss is certainly not among the upper tier of SEC teams in terms of talent. That was just embarrassing for Texas Tech and the Big 12. -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:31 1
        
        Utah is certainly not among the upper tier of the NCAA in terms of talent. That was just embarrassing for Alabama and the SEC. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:09
- naturally -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 20:41
Overall Mississippi was #4 in the SEC, but realistically by the end of the season I would have put them #3. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:38
