BroChaos Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 The SEC is not the best conference, but it is the toughest conference when it comes to conference play. I still put the SEC above the Big 10 when it comes to the toughest conference. 586834625[/snapback] not this year though. the big ten clearly played a tougher OOC schedule. penn st. played USF (#2 big east) and OSU played #2 texas. big ten also played fewer 1-AA teams, and overall, has a better OOC record. plus, i see about 8 quality teams in the SEC, and 9 in the big ten.

Snipe Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 since when does your OOC schedule determine how strong the conference is as a whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted November 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 23, 2005 if you lose your OOC games, what does that say about your conference? thats the only way you can measure a conference, is against other conferences. what you do inside your conference doesn't mean anything. if everyone in your conference is 5-5(conference record), but you all went 3-0 in OOC games, even though you will get dogged in the polls for having losses, chances are you are pretty good from top to bottom. the polls are so biased towards unbeaten teams, not the better team. why do you think so many big east or acc teams make it to the championship game? because they are good? haha, please. because they play in the 2 weakest conferences out of the major group.

DreAming in DigITal Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 the polls are so biased towards unbeaten teams, not the better team. why do you think so many big east or acc teams make it to the championship game? because they are good? haha, please. because they play in the 2 weakest conferences out of the major group. You need to come with a better arguement than that...The ACC is 25-7 in OOC games this year....the Big 10 is 25-6 in OOC games this year. ACC has 12 teams and only one more OOC loss than the 10 teams of the Big 10. ACC also has 6 ranked teams right now...Big 10 has 4 ranked teams. You might wanna re-think calling the ACC weak.

Obviously, the Big 10 is the toughest when it comes to overall play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
