    Texas A&M, Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska all have losses this early in the season. Meanwhile the Big12 somehow got stronger, and will add more teams within 5 years or so.


    can you say taking out the trash

    Gainsville is great but it has to be Columbia, SC. That will be an awesome atmosphere. This is assuming Georgia doesn't blow it against (the other) UT today.

    The big 12 is Texas and OU. All the other teams are interchangeable parts. For all the the love the SEC gets they really have two great teams in LSU and Alabama. The rest of their teams are good to mediocre. Florida was on that level with Meyers, but he is gone.

    Yeah...that's why lawsuits were threatened to keep A&M from leaving. Your post is such a joke.

    What we have learned is that the Big 12 has no defense at all. The fact is that A&M and Missouri went to a better conference and the folks in Austin have a terminal case of butthurt about it.

    Arkansas has become an absolute train wreck. That being said, Manziel, Thomas Johnson and Mike Evans are all playing well as freshmen. I can't wait to see these guys once they have experience.

    At a minimum, Georgia and South Carolina are as good as OU & UT.

    Can you say shallow analysis? Switching conferences is a long-term decision, and you're making a judgment by, um, two conference games or fewer. :rolleyes:

    But even if you want to play the short-term game, it still doesn't add up. Yes, Mizzou is 3-2, including a pair of losses to top 10 SEC teams. If only they were in the Big 12, like they were in 2011, they'd be so much better off! Except, um, Mizzou started 2-3 last year... including a pair of losses to conference heavyweights OU and Kansas State. How is this year any worse for them? Meanwhile, A&M is 3-1, including a 48-point beatdown of Arkansas and the only loss a very close game to undefeated Florida. If only they could be back in the Big 12, like they were in 2011... when they started 2-2 and lost to Okie State and Arkansas! :rolleyes:

    The reason I said "speak for yourself" was you accused schools like Mizzou and A&M of having regrets, which is just silly. Now you're trying to change your argument to something entirely different, which is whether the Big 12 is "better off". Time well tell on your new argument, but WVU's massive 7-point win over Baylor and TCU's incredible 20-6 victory over Kansas (arguably the worst team in all of D-1) aren't exactly overwhelming evidence.

    This also does not mention that the SEC has three teams in the top five compared to zero for the Big 12.

    Auburn was a fluke because of Cam.. now look at them, and no Tebow at Florida. Its basically a 2-team confernce

    How old are you, 12? What a convincing argument you have there. "Team X sucks!" When asked why, "Because they do!"

    SEC is a 2 team confernce.. thats it

    They had some success with Tebow, and Cam.. but they are both gone.

    No Urban Meyer


    Big 10, Pac12, and ACC are all under the BIG 12

    Big 12 dominates the bowl season

    If only South Carolina had just played a very-recent Big 12 team. Say, one that beat Iowa State 52-17 last year, finished 5th in the Big 12 (8-5, 5-4) compared to Iowa State's 8th-place conference finish (6-7, 3-6). Let's assume that aforementioned Big 12 team (the better one) returned almost its entire team, including its QB.

    If only South Carolina had just played them - say, seven days ago - maybe we'd have some evidence as to how absurd your claim is. We can only dream. :p

    Funny enough...:p

    Ha, kidding aside, I'm not trying to re-live realignment 2011 but I think anyone has regret over what has happened. Confident in saying I don't think A&M and Missouri regret leaving for the SEC. Not sure about Nebraska and Colorado. And certainly the Big 12 doesn't regret adding TCU and West Virginia.

    Regret and second guessing if they made the right decision, stop it.
