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.

In the January bowl games, where the big dogs play, the Big-12 didn't do so good - a 1 pt win, a 31 pt loss, and a 36 pt loss. If you want to count victories over Miami of Ohio, go ahead. I suppose it is better than losing to them!

I also note that all of the bowl-eligible teams in the Big-12 were selected for bowl games. Similarly, all 5 of the Pac-10 teams who were eliglible were also selected.

The SEC was weaker than usual this year.

"But you've got no justification for slamming the Big12."

The Big-12 had a decent year, but they had a bad January.
