[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2553945, member: 785"] Take away the top team in the B12 and the SEC, and the next 9 teams in the SEC are likely better than the next 9 teams in the B12. It would be strange if they weren't. I don't know how one would adjust the numbers, to compare 9 Big12 teams to 13 SEC teams. Maybe someone that's smarter in statistics does. Trying to compare, I suppose you could select 9 teams at random from the 13-team not-Alabama part of the SEC. But doing that would stick our conference with turribad KU every time, and the SEC would at least have a bettor's chance of avoiding their worst [ Finebaum ]s. Come to think of it, maybe 9 random non-Alabama teams out of the SEC would usually be better than the bottom 9 of the B12, at least in 2018. In addition to turribad KU, the 2018 B12 also features post-Briles Baylor and Coach Bro's withering TTech program. KU, BU, TTech; probably pretty awful teams in 2018 at least by P5 standards. On the other hand, it looks like Iowa State and K-State, usually also-rans, would be a problem for just about anyone in the SEC except 'Bama (or Georgia, lately). [/QUOTE]
