I wouldn't call 2-3 with one huge upset "miserable."

OkSU and A&M clearly weren't ready to play (and I'm an Aggie). OU got the business end of a buzzsaw they couldn't reverse. The turnovers in both the Cotton and Orange bowls gave the final scores a deceptive appearance. I think A&M and OU had a total of 10 turnovers. Show me any two teams that would win (or keep from getting blown out of) their bowl games with 5 TOs each.

The problem I see with prognosticators is that too many swear at the alter of the conference their team plays in. If its the SEC, they blindly say the SEC is the best. Same for Big 12. The truth is that top to bottom, there isn't a great deal of difference in any of the conferences. The Big 12 South distinguished itself this year in the REGULAR season. That's undisputable. But the people picking OU last night because they thought the Big 12 was great and the Pac 10 sucked made absolute idiots of themselves.

I have no conference allegiance. I only have allegiance to my team.

Point well-taken. But the Big-12 showing in the bowls was miserable, and their losses were blowouts.

I'll give you the blowouts. All 3 of the Big12's bowl losses were definitely blowouts. However, the Big12 still WON 4 bowl games. Two of them "high profile" bowls. How many bowl games did the SEC win? Three?

You keep slamming the Big 12, but you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Is the SEC tough? Yes, I believe it's a pretty good football conference. Better than the Big12? I doubt it, and they haven't shown me anything otherwise.

What other conference won more than 4 bowls? Anyone? What other conference played in 7 bowls?

You want to talk up your team and conference, fine. But you've got no justification for slamming the Big12.
