The SEC has won the last seven BCS championships. It is the best football conference by far. Auburn or Missouri should be in the championship game, depending on who wins the SEC championship.
Some pretty bad teams in the SEC this year: Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, all pretty atrocious, and none of those teams would even win Conference USA.
Well if we are using past performance to judge who goes this year...then No one has beaten OSU for 2 years! That makes them #1.
