Once again the SEC will dominate College Football according to the so called experts. It is no surprise that they are picked to win it all again considering the slew of powerhouse teams that have been assembled. But this may be the year that another conference comes out of the shadows to assume this role. Many have the Big Twelve as a likely contender considering the recent emergence of traditionally mediocre teams winning big. Other says that the Big 10 or PAC 10 is the one. Many base this ranking on the top teams in there conference but is this completely accurate? Should the conference be ranked as a whole when considering the "best conference" in the land? Let's do a little comparison and you be the judge. I will limit this to just the top four conferences (according to the "experts") I understand that opinions will vary about the rankings of these teams within conferences. This is simply a comparison of strength from top to bottom. Winner denoted by Highlight.
1. UGA - USC - OSU Oklahoma
2. LSU - Arizona St Wisconsin Missouri
3. UF- Oregon Michigan Texas
4. AU- Oregon State Illinois Kansas
5. Tenn.- UCLA Penn State Texas tech
6. Alabama- Cal Iowa Texas A&M
7. South Carolina- Arizona Purdue OK State
8. Miss State- Washington State MSU Colorado
9. Kentucky - Washington Indiana K State
10. Ole Miss- Stanford Northwestern Nebraska
11. Arkansas Buy Minnesota Iowa State
12. Vanderbilt Buy Buy Baylor

I think Arkansas would beat Iowa State, and I dunno about UGA over USC, they got a lot of speed on that Trojan team.

This is very intriguing. I would definitely think that Wisconsin would be incredibly competitive at 2..we'd lost to LSU..but we would definitely prove something with that game. At 3 I would actually take Oregon..I like what they do a lot and I think they'd dominate Florida. All in all I think you mostly got it right.

are we talking this year, last 5 years, or what, because as of recently LSU has been the best team in the SEC in the last 5 years record wise

We're talking this upcoming season. Remember we lost Ryan Perriloux the Next coming savior right behind Obama (Sarcasm intended) there's no way we can compete. You saw the Orelus decommit right. What was he thinking? If you want to go back to Florida at least play for a winning program. Geese!

I like this blog.
Of all the teams listed, I see five A-caliber teams: The first four SEC teams, and Southern Cal. Everyone else, to me, is B+ and below.

Fun stuff. What you could do, if you had several hours to kill, is use the last year's strength of schedule (average opp. winning percentage) , then, take it to the 2nd degree, and get the opponent's oppenent's last year winning percentage. That is usually enough to shut up even the most persistent, annoying fan about strength issues. I think I would like to try that with UGA's last year data.

Hairgut,
You pull that off and UGA should give you an Honorary Doctorate. That's a lot of research and work. I can absolutely understand spending a few hours pulling something like that off. Let me know how it turns out.
