A couple games don't change the fact that the SEC is definitively the best conference. But I've seen some on here suggesting the second best conference is the Pac 12 and to that I say huh?? The Big 12 is generally the second best conference and its been that way for a while. And the reason it is that way is for the same reason the SEC is the best...Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, TCU, Baylor are all southern teams (new south). There just isn't enough of a recruiting base out West to support all those teams. And research shows that states that put the most NFL talent out per capita are in the deepth south and the new south (Oklahoma and Texas). Not a single Western state is included and only one northern state (Ohio).
Baylor absolutely destroyed UCLA
And a very down Texas team beat Oregon State
And as far as the B1G? Be serious. Purdue was destroyed by Okie State and Minnesota couldn't even beat a Tech team whose coach walked out on them.
And outside of the SEC the Big 12 has the second most BCS NCs and NC appearances in BCS era. Remember that the only team outside of a southern state (traditional or new south that legitimately won a BCS NC was Ohio State). The rankings are SEC (by quite a margin because of top end talent and depth), the Big 12 and then who knows? Just one man's opinion.
