Mizzou is going to lose both those pitches, and I just about guarantee they start losing Texas recruits to KSU, Kansas and ISU. They will now have to compete off Missouri recruits, and recruits from the SEC states. If youre a recruit from Alabama, and Aurburn and Alabama pass you up, why would you choose Missouri over Kentucky or Vanderbelt?

    I'm pretty sure I've been one of those, and it's simple. This year, the big 12 is statistically the strongest conference in the country. WRT the big 10, they are averaging 52.5 for strength of schedule ranking right now. The Big 12 is averaging 8.1. (SEC 22). Many sports news organizations are listing the big 12 as the best football conference right now. However, that's right now. The SEC has dominated for quite a while. The 'big 12 is the best' is right now, this year. The 'SEC is the best' is recent history, and needs to be overcome before the big 12 could be considered the overall best conference. We also need to show up in the big bowls. Oklahoma has seen fit to choke in the big ones lately.

    Here's the data I was using for the SOS averages:

    USATODAY.com

    The overall conference rankings are at the top, then each school is underneath for SOS. Look for the "SCHEDL(RANK)" column.

    I don't think he has to prove anything to you. Doesn't look like you will believe anything but what you want to believe. Sure, the SEC won the last five NC, but were they the best conference all five years. I'm thinking not. Either way, keep up the solid work of saying how much better the SEC is and in the process degrading the Big XII.

    can't even argue that statement *facepalm*

    The last 5 years the SEC has been better...sorry I'm being a realist...I can change my opinion on things but that's a little too much

    Big 12 is in second but top to bottom the SEC is brutal...they are having a weak year this year which is saying something
