The PAC-12 is not doing very well either at 1-7....
lol Dungey is on his 4th year as a starter but it feels like 2 years because of his injuries.
Im not big on just going by bowl games. Im not saying its not significant. I just think there are so many factors. Match ups, styles of plays, injuries, sit outs, coach firings/leaving, suspensions etc.. We have to see what conferences do collectively. How much do you factor in wins in the smaller bowls? If Clemson beats Bama. Does that carry the ACC more because its best vs best? The best conference will always be a debate. Its just interesting to see the different prospectives people have.
Ive grown lot of respect for L Jackson through the years. I had my doubts about him. You are right, he is durable. Probaby the best athlete Ive seen at the QB position. Im not sure if he has a future as an NFL QB but he has done a good job of convincing me he does.
I saw that. Jackson is normally good with using his legs. Surprised he just kept backing up into those sacks. All he had to do was escape the pocket.
Now 7-0.
I dont hate the Big 10. I dont watch college football with fan eyes. Big 10 going 7-0 in bowl games is great but it doesnt mean they are the best conference. I didnt necesssarily think the ACC was the best when they had a good bowl season last year. Dont forget, B10 has no playoff team this year. SEC has two. What if Georgia and Bama meet each other in the chip? Wouldnt that make a strong case for that conference? Big 10 has their best teams playing opponents they should beat. They are the higher ranked team in each win. 20th ranked Northwestern team beat a unranked Kentucky team by 1. Is that impressive? Most impressive win they had was 18th ranked Mich st beating 21st ranked Washington st. by a large margin. There's just too many different arguments. If you choose to just look at bowl wins, thats fine if it works for you. For me, I look at the whole season and the bowl games. The whole body of work. There's just too much variables to concider. Too many things that impact bowl games.
Agree with everything you said. I just think that many people (including the talking heads) see 7-0 and knee-jerk their way to B1G = best conference (regardless of the B1G absence in the playoff). Not all. But many.
I get it. Average fan is gonna see 7-0 and think Big10 must be the best lol. It's just funny because it seem like most people thought the Big 10 was over rated during the regular season. Now people are jumping on the bandwagon because they are 7-0. They are just having a good bowl season.
