[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2599382, member: 72863"] I don't look at results from one year or two years and form my opinions from that. The SEC is full of large state schools crazy about football with huge budgets smack dab in the middle of some of the best recruiting territory in the country. For all the grief teams like Tennessee, Florida and A&M get for their recent struggles those are programs that have a history of some fairly significant sustained success. Then you add on to those Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Auburn and you've got seven pretty major programs. I'm sorry, but schools like West Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State just don't compare when you consider the history and overall potential of the programs.....strictly because of location if nothing else. And the lowly SEC teams (Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Vandy) are on average much stronger than the Kansas's and Iowa State's.....again, simply because of location and resources more than anything. I'm not saying Iowa State wouldn't beat Missouri or Kentucky this year, they might if they played, I'm just saying if I were to predict who would have a better team over the next 20 years, I'd pick all those teams except [U]possibly[/U] Vandy over Iowa State. I'm not saying this to say the Big 12 sucks or anything because it clearly doesn't, and the fact that all the teams play each other makes the conference schedule tougher than it otherwise would be, but the 8-game SEC schedule isn't any "easier" than a 9-game Big 12 schedule.
