Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3803683, member: 7492"] Relevance in regards to top 25 vs. top 1-6 of the conference needs to be taken into consideration and that is where the PAC12 shines. To wit: Stanford is head and shoulders above SC who is head and shoulders above anyone else in the SEC. Oregon and UCLA are better than any 2-6 team the SEC can put out. Is Arizona better than Kentucky/A&M/MSU is a valid question. I might put A&M ahead but put AZ better than the other 2. Then where do Oregon/UCLA rank vs.SC? I give the edge to SC but it’s close. So to recap, PAC12 has the top team, SEC, PAC, PAC, SEC, PAC, SEC, SEC. The top 4 are clearly in favor of the PAC12. As [USER=1220]@willtalk[/USER] logically noted, without OOC quality opponents it’s tough to evaluate so most of this is off of the eye test. I am not sold on Georgia and Arkansas has issues it need to figure out. We get a good look at Tennessee in 2 weeks so that will be curious. Alabama is still mediocre despite their record. WSU has been a surprise but how to grade them against the 5-8 teams of SEC? USC Trojans have been without their Best player most of the year (Alissa Pili) and still are middle of the pack so they need to be considered when she comes back. The ACC is top heavy with Louisville and NCState but after that, it’s not pretty-Syracuse? The Big12 is sort of mess as Baylor seems less Baylorlike. Texas is a nice story with Vic but lack threats besides Charlie Collier. And yes [USER=1220]@willtalk[/USER] i would take a bet Kim beats Vic twice this year. Iowa State was ranked and has Joens and a good crop of freshman but also not really impressive nationally. This is probably the worst P5. Big10 is the wildcard here as they may be deeper than all the other P5 conferences. Their problem is trying to determine how elite is Maryland? If you have 6 teams in the 11-25 range vs. 5 SECteams in the 5-16 range is that deeper or better? The middle of the Big10 is better than all of the others and their bottom is not as bad as Cal/Wash, Virginia/Pitt, Auburn/Ole Miss, TCU or OU. [/QUOTE]
