The Pac 12 is not on the same level as the SEC, period. The kingpin of the Pac, Oregon, got BLASTED by an LSU team a few years back.
If it wasn't for Arkansas and Tennessee playing the Pac 12 (the worst teams either of these schools have had) the series wouldn't even be close.
Is that so, Mr. Piggy? Okay I will try not to confuse
too much your limited cognitive functioning with the facts - but before I do
that let me say first that you don’t get to cherry pick your matchups to
manufacture an unsupportable argument – it reeks of desperation homerism Mr.
Pig. Second, in your case pathetically the matchups you provide fail to
even do that and, in fact, make the opposing argument. Let’s take a look
at them, shall we?
You assert if it wasn’t for Pac teams playing Tenn
& Ark when they had their worst teams the SEC/PAC conference records
against each other wouldn’t be so close. Really? Tennessee played
UCLA in 2008; Tenn. was ranked no 18, UCLA was unranked; Tenn. was favored by
7.5 points. UCLA won 27-24. So your theory is 0 for 1 so far - let's
expose your ignorance a little more, okay? Tennessee played Cal in 2007.
Tennessee was ranked No. 15, Cal was ranked no. 12. Cal won 45-31,
but Tenn. was hardly the worst team they ever had - they were ranked 15 in the
country! Further, how did Tenn. do that year? Vols were 10-4
overall, 6-2 in the SEC and won the SEC-East! Yet Cal beats them by 2
TDs. What about Cal? They only went 7-6 that year and 3-6 in the PAC!! So
now we're 0-2 according to Mr. Piggy-face's glittering analysis. Tenn.
again played UCLA in 2009, neither team was ranked but Tenn. was favored by 8
points – hardly the worst team you claim they were. As a matter of fact,
Tennessee finished the year 7-6 and 4-4 in the SEC; UCLA finished the year 7-6
but only 3-6 in the Pac. Yet UCLA won the game 19-15. 0-3, Mr.
Piggy - you're little theory that the Pac's record against SEC is good because 'Tennessee was the worst team they ever had' excuse isn't playing out so well, is
it?
Now to Arkansas - hogs played USC twice, and got waxed both
times. But were the hogs really the worst team ever, as you say?
Actually, as it turns out – no – that would be last year (Arkansas’ worst team
ever, or at least in modern history, and they didn’t play a Pac team thank god
for them). Arkansas was destroyed by USC first in 2005 by score of 70-17;
the Hogs finished 4-7 overall, 2-5 in the SEC, but was competitive in the SEC
with close losses to Georgia (23-20), LSU (19-17), and South Carolina (14-10),
in addition to beating Ole Miss and Miss. St. In 2006, when USC beat the
Hogs at Fayetteville 50-14, Arkansas actually went 10-4 that year, including
7-1 in the SEC regular season winning the SEC West and losing to Florida in the
SEC championship game. Along the way they beat Alabama, Auburn, So.
Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Mississippi St., Vandy….So I guess that
pretty much blows up you little theory of Pac winning against the ‘worst’
Arkansas teams too.
By the way, if you want to selectively omit the Arkansas and
Tennessee losses by trying to argue (erroneously) that without those losses the
heads up records of the conferences wouldn’t be close, then I could argue the
PAC should not count the losses it incurred when unranked Washington played No.
3 ranked LSU at Baton Rouge in 2012; or unranked Arizona St. at no. 20 ranked
Georgia in 2009; or unranked Arizona at No. 8 LSU in 2006, or unranked
Washington St. at No. 4 Auburn in 2006, or unranked Oregon St. at no. 4 ranked
LSU in 2004, or..., or .., or… And as
for Oregon getting ‘blasted’ by LSU, first of all – it’s untrue – the score was
40-27. Oregon played a night game at Baton Rouge and lost to the No. 4
team in the country by 13 points – hardly a blowout.
Second, it’s one game and proves nothing.
The truth is those are just excuses that you try to use to
justify SEC superiority in your myopic world. In reality - just as I
said - when good SEC teams play bad Pac teams they win; when good Pac teams
play bad SEC teams, they win; and when evenly matched teams from each
conference play each other, they split out to the tune overall of 14-13 since
2000. The conferences, when they actually play each other on the field
rather than in voters' perceptions, are actually dam*ed close to one another -
especially in the 21st century. If the Pac hadn't been screwed out of so
many BCS championship games, you'd see more parity in championships too.
You’re a tool who just got exposed, tophog. You might
try thinking and learning what you are talking about before making a fool of
yourself in the future ....
