Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 1217833, member: 515"] The fact that teams only play 3-4 OOC games obviously makes any ironclad declaration about superiority impossible to prove. But people are taking this to ridiculous level. This year, yes, the Pac-12 was very good, and they schedule ambitiously, especially USC and UCLA. And a reasonable case could be made that they were as good or better than the SEC. I tend to believe that the PAC-12 has "choked", for lack of a better word, too often for me to really believe in them as a collective unit. Given the scarcity of games, there's no way to avoid an "eye test" element. NO WAY. In my view, the differences are analogous to high school recruiting. The SEC, on the whole, is like the 5 star athlete, and the other conference are like the 4 star athlete. Of course, the 4 star is going to win a fair share of the time, but over time, the cream always rises. This year is just a dip. But the SEC plays a noticeably different game I believe. [/QUOTE]
