I'm sick of hearing how weak the PAC-12 is
Consider this:
We are playing in the PAC-12 wich everybody derides as a weak conference this year.
Then how in the hell can we have such a better SOS (24) than Penn State (No. 39), Oklahoma (No. 49), Georgia (No. 50) and Cincinnati (No. 56) Alabama (59), when the only "tough" game we played was against Auburn?
Only one answer that I can see:
These other top teams schedule crummy non-conference teams and, more importantly, their own conferences suck.
These other conferences are top-heavy.
Take the ACC for instance...you have Clemson and, maybe this year, Wake Forest, but after that, the other 12 teams are nothing to speak of.
The SEC has, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida...the other 10 teams suck.
The Big Ten has OSU, Penn State, Minnesota, Wisconson and maybe, Indiana and Michigan. That's pretty good and maybe the best league in the country right now but Rutgers and Maryland and Nebraska and Northwestern? Please...
The Big 12...oh my...Oky and Baylor and then ...nobody. BTW....look at Baylor's schedule...oh my goodness..cupcakes. Baylor might have the weakest schedule I've seen this year.
The point is that all of the conferences are top-heavy and then are not so good after that...it just looks to me as though that, top to bottom, the PAC-12 is not really as bad as most of these other conferences.
Now, if we can only beat them in the bowl game to prove my point!
