SEC vs. BIG 12 Analysis

  • SEC:

    Biggest BCS conference win: Alabama over Michigan
    Biggest BCS conference lost: Mizzou loss to Syracuse

    Non Conference:
    4-6 vs BCS with 4 games pending (40%)
    25-1 vs. Non BCS (Kentucky)
    16-0 vs. Division 2

    12 game schedule with 8 conference games. Typical: 1 BCS opponent, 2 Non-BCS opponents, 1 Division 2 + 8 conference games

    BIG 12

    Biggest BCS Conference win: Texas over Ole Miss
    Biggest BCS Conference loss: Oklahoma State loss to Arizona

    Non Conference:
    5-2 vs. BCS with 0 remaining. (71%)
    12-2 vs. non-BCS (Kansas both losses)
    10-0 vs. Division 2

    12 game schedule with 9 conference games. Typical: 1 BCS opponent, 1 non-BCS, 1 Division 2 + 9 conference games

    Summary:

    BIG12 non-BCS conference win % = 85%
    SEC non-BCS conference win% = 96%

    Winning % of an average team in both conference is apprx 50%.

    Would you rather play 1 game where your odds to win are 50% or 1 game where your odds to win are 85% or higher?

    If you don't understand, basically take half of the Big 12's teams and take away 1 conference loss and replace it with a non conference win. Wouldn't it make sense then for the BIG 12 to have more teams ranked with the 1 less loss? (depends on the teams I know)
