10-2 LSU is better than 7-5 Okie State right? Well not really. LSU is rated 13th in the "predictor" while Okie is #11. That's because LSU only played four top-30 teams while Okie played eight. I can explain this further if needed.

Nice try, but if you go by the Sagarin ratings that actually matter you have the following:

2. Florida
3. Alabama
7. LSU
8. South Carolina
9. Georgia
12. TAMU

4. K-State
11. Oklahoma
14. Texas
19. Oklahoma State
23. Baylor

And here's another conference ranking list that has the SEC as #1. This is a fact, not an opinion.

That isn't really a ranking. It shows the polls, whereas the computer portion even says Big 12 was tops. It's easy to have fewer losses when you don't have to play 9 conf games. Unbiased computers agree.

You're really arguing over 9 conf games instead of 8? That 1 game against a KU team that can't win a single conference game really made a huge difference in the Big 12's inability to avoid losses.

What's your explanation for the computer rankings then?

The computer rankings that have:

2. Florida
3. Alabama
7. LSU
9. South Carolina
10. TAMU
11. Georgia


Looks about right to me - 6 SEC teams in the top 11.
