Bit riled up aren't we. SEC offenses are most certainly worse than Big12 offenses. Georgia is the first on the board for the SEC at #29 in terms of total yardage, which while not perfect, is a pretty good measure of how good an offense is. Here is a look at the top 5:
Houston, Baylor, Ore, OkSt, Oklahoma
So, with 4/5 Big12 teams in the top 5 for total yardage, and SEC having only 4 teams in the top 50 shows that SEC offense certainly not that good, and that putting up good defensive stats and play against such offenses isn't exceedingly impressive.
Just looking at the ORE vs LSU stats you can see that Oregon beat themselves. 12 penalties for -95 yards. 4 turnovers. LSU only had 243 total yards of offense. You can say LSU just plays such outstanding defense, or you can say Oregon wasn't ready to play LSU at LSU, and made a ton of critical mistakes. Oregon racked up 334 and 27 points. Without all those mistakes for Oregon the game would have looked much different. Yea LSU has a good defense, but is it that good, or did Oregon shoot themselves in the leg? Impossible to tell when you have LSU playing a NC game against someone they already beat, and whose offense is almost purely 1 dimensional.
None of the other games are you listed are that impressive considering the Avg pts allowed by the teams beat by SEC teams is pretty much within a touchdown of what those SEC teams actually scored.
I'm sure you didn't see much pressure from Big12 defenses because you probably didn't watch very many Big12 games. I think the bowl games will settle our argument for one way or the other somewhat. Too bad the NC game won't settle shit. Naturally a play off system would settle things on the field the best.
