ESPN has already started their campaign

It's funny when ESPN or other college media talk about conference bowl records and the B1G they don't mention that the B1G plays the SEC more than any other conference. There is no argument that the SEC is the best conference so when you have your teams play the SEC of course your going to have a low winning %. The B1G has to play the Pac 12 champ who is usually Oregon or USC then they have SEC #2 #4 and #5 in Capital One Outback and Gator. If the B12 or ACC play that bowl slate they wouldn't do any better.

Missing some but how does that look for conference strength evaluation

I threw in the independents for arguments sake as they play a lot of the BCS conferences

Sure can't say the SEC is the best conference based on their out of conference games. I think it's interesting Orgeon beat Tennessee by like 40 points and Tennessee beat South Carolina, a top ten SEC team. The only Big Ten/SEC matchup was Missouri against Indiana. That's the potential SEC champ against the 10th? best Big Ten team (45-28), not that impressive. I think conferences are usually a lot closer than the media would have people believe.

Indiana's offense was pretty legit. Four teams held them below the 35-point mark: Ohio State (14), Wisconsin (3), Missouri (28) and Michigan State (28). That's right, the vaunted MSU defense gave up 28 points to Indiana, just like Missouri's did.

Missouri was up by as much as four scores in the fourth quarter of that game before giving up a couple touchdowns. MSU was in a one-possession ballgame for most of the day before finally pulling away.

The transitive property doesn't work in sports.

ESPN, the $EC, and CBS are a sex train, with the $EC in the middle, taking and giving.

It's a dirty incestuous mess.

And they're all dudes.

I don't think Auburn will jump OSU if they both win. However, you KNOW every coach, PR man and water boy in the SEC is calling every voter in the country constantly to lobby.
