Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5582900, member: 1969"] To me its clear that so far the B12 is the better conference. Winning 65% of meaningful matches vs the SEC winning 40% of meaningful matches. But here is the thing; a) The [B]quality matchups in favour of Big 12[/B] make up about [B]40% of the games[/B] -- and the [B]margin difference between the two is only 2 points[/B] despite the big difference in record. b) The [B]cupcake matchups in favour of SEC[/B] make up about [B]50% of the games[/B] -- and the [B]margin difference between the two is 8.5 points. So in terms of NET, the SEC will be overwhelmingly ahead of the B12, despite doing much more poorly from a W-L% perspective in tougher game. Despite having the fourth best conference Win% in quality games, the SEC will have by far the best NET presence when it is released.[/B] Strategic? Maybe not. B12 took advantage of cupcakes last year. But NET Flaw. Absolutely. [/QUOTE]
