The SEC has two teams that steamroll everyone else in their conference and then they claim that their conference is the best.
In my opinion, they can only claim that if their top dog goes to the NC game against the top dog of a different conference.
80% of the teams in the Big XII are bowl eligible. (That number increases if you include TCU's and WVU's records)
75% of the teams in the SEC are bowl eligible.
67% of the teams in the PAC-12 are bowl eligible.
Obviously Okie State has to beat OU to even argue the rights to play in the NC game. But at this juncture an all-SEC battle in the NC game is worthless for college football.
If the SEC wants real bragging rights, they should NOT want an all-SEC NC game.
In an unrelated note, did anyone see that Baylor vs. Texas Tech game?  108 total points scored and over 1,000 yards of total offense |
I see your arguement about playing other conferences in the BCS National Championship....Let see the history of this .
1998 Tenn - 23 Fl St -16
1999 Fl St 46 VT 29
2000 OU 13 - Fl St 2
2001 Miami 37 Nebraska 14
2002 Ohio St 31 Miami 24
2003 LSU 21 OU 14
2004 USC 55 OU 19
2005 Texas 41 USC 38
2006 Florida 41 - Ohio St 14
2007 LSU 38 - Ohio St 24
2008 Florida 24 - OU 14
2009 Alabama 37 -Texas 21
2010 Auburn 22 - Oregon 19
Seems to me that the SEC HAS beaten other conferences to include the Big 12, Pac 10, ACC. Who's next....The Big East.
OU has played in more BCS NCCG and lost more that they have won, same with Ohio State. Till a non BCS team beats an SEC Team in the National Championship game you can say what you want but the proof is in the pudding.
