True, so your winning % argument of the Big 12 is better due to an 81% win ratio is meaningless in determining Big 12 strength in relation to it's peers. The measurement requires a multivariate analysis
They play enough games that your argument is irrelevant. If you feel the need to calculate winning % for the conferences against just P5 or tournament teams, then go for it. You appear to just want to run in circles when a number you don’t like is put out there. We both know that most nonconference P5 schedules have a mix of teams and the conference collectives will be close among all P5s.
You are just being simple minded here. SOS is the better determining factor of the competition played.
And I am telling you that from top to bottom of a conference the schedule strengths will even out for the most parts, and P5 conferences as a whole will be relatively close. You say simple minded and I say the 30,000 foot view works when I have a decent understanding of the scheduling.
If you have a decent understanding of scheduling then compare the conferences as it relates to SOS and wins. Take SEC vs Big12, otherwise the 81% point means nothing.
The SEC won 74% of nonconference games for your information. We all know that Kentucky & Kansas have tougher nonconference schedules than Oklahoma St & Vanderbilt.
How about the fact that the B12 was 9-7 against the SEC this year. Is that specific enough for you?
Seems convenient to forget about the other SEC/B12 games played.
The SEC won the Big 12/SEC challenge which attempts to match equal strengths. Is that specific enough for you. Btw, Tennessee/Kansas played more compatible difficult schedules. Regarding non conference SOS Tenn played the 46th toughest and Kansas the 50th, which is almost equal.
Your #4 team hosting the last-place Big 12 team is not matching strengths. Nor is your top team hosting the #8 team. Among others.
Are you arguing that they don't attempt to match strengths, cause that is what I posted? The SEC did not lose 9 in the challenge. Who did the Big 12 beat outside of the challenge and who beat them?
It is relative to the desire to make the challenge the most competitive, that is why you should care.
They are going to be in jail anytime. I hear that Cal has his house for sale already.
Ur probly one of the few that thinks the whole premise of paying recruits started in 2016, and it only started to keep players away from UK bc cal was on such a roll recruiting the good ole fashioned way 🤣
Outside of the challenge:
Dude...it's called passing time while working. Is it any more ridiculous than any other back and forth on here? 🤣
Interesting take as recent history suggests that the B12 will be there. Baylor wins the title last year and Tech loses the championship game in OT in the prior tournament.
If Kentucky had to cheat what did UNC, Indiana, Duke, Louisville and Kansas have to do?
However, you are discounting the facts that y'all lost the challenge and your flagship team got the brakes beat off them at home
I will take the overall ass kicking as opposed to a one day slate every time. You are mistaken about flagship team as the B12 has sent other teams to the title game recently. The B12 obviously isn’t a one team conference, but I am not sure you can say that about the SEC. I guess Auburn did get to a F4 the year Tech went to the final.
I'll take the match up of strength rated match ups every time. Finally, this discussion is not about history of the past. It is about this year and Kansas is the Flagship this year, so you are wrong.
Are they now? There is a #1 seed defending National Champion and a finalist two years ago that just don’t agree with you. BTW, how high of seed is the SEC top team?
Don't be an idiot, Kansas is the highest rated Big12 team using any metric this year. Seeds have no bearing on how good a team is and that is proved by the fact that Tennessee is a better team than Baylor based on grading measurements. What some team did in 1973 or 1985 has no bearing on how good/bad a team is this year.
LOL!! You are right as the committee put Tenn on the 3 line because they are so strong. Keep in mind that Tenn played multiple B12 teams this year and didn’t beat any. Sorry, your argument just doesn’t hold water. But I guess the feather in their cap is they split with KY.
It is obvious that you are just not very smart. Tennessee beat Arizona (top overall seed), UNC, Auburn and Kentucky Twice (the same UK that boat raced Kansas at home).
I can see you at the stage when they were handing the National Championship trophy to Scott Drew saying “ but..but…but”It is obvious that you are just not very smart. Tennessee beat Arizona (top overall seed), UNC, Auburn and Kentucky Twice (the same UK that boat raced Kansas at home).
Tennessee is currently ranked 5th in the nation. Tennessee is 4-1 against the Top 5 before Championship games.
Not does Tennessee hold water, they are drowning you in it.
I can see you're at the stage when you can't refute facts so you're left mumbling some BS.🤣I can see you at the stage when they were handing the National Championship trophy to Scott Drew saying “ but..but…but”
You're starting to sound a lot like a certain Auburn fan.
Just goes to show you how strong the B12 is that the juggernaut Tenn couldn't handle the 3rd or 4th place B12 teams, but beat other conferences' strong teams. Are those the facts you want?
I have already stated them earlier in the thread. if you think UT>Baylor then why enter into. Just for the sake of arguing?
Tennessee beat UK which beat y'alls best team like a drum. That fact work for you?
Once again shows you how strong the B12 is. That 81% should be looking better and better to you. We get to see a glimpse of how the conferences may fare against each other right off the bat as my Clones face LSU on Friday.
