Team Defense Rankings of the teams that Oklahoma Played last year:
Chattanooga: N/A

Texas A&M: 114
Texas: 20
Oklahoma State: 68
Texas Tech: 66
Kansas State: 109

LSU: 63
Tennessee: 11
Mississippi: 14

So, yeah, I think it's safe to say the SEC has superior defenses to the Big XII. I stand by my statement that the one time Oklahoma played a real D, they got squashed, but I do recognize the mighty power that is the Horned Frogs of TCU.
