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.
"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."
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.
