60% of the conference, made bowls.


Not bad

Well, that's the fourth-best rate among all conferences. The ACC placed 10 of 14 teams in bowl games (71%), while the Big 10 & SEC each had 9 of 14 teams in bowls (64%).

The Big 12 was slightly ahead of the 58% garnered by the Pac-12, MAC, MWC & AAC, who each placed 7 of 12 teams into bowls. Bringing up the rear were the Sun Belt (5 of 10), Conference USA (7 of 14) and the independents (3 of 6), who each managed 50% of their members placed in bowl games.

Meh, ACC & SEC may not count. Eight conference games and a November cupcake. I wonder how many make bowl eligibility without that cupcake?

"Auburn has tried twice in their entire existence to beat Oklahoma, and failed miserably both times........kinda like Penn State."

Mmmm ok. It doesn't really counter my claim that the Big 12 is worse than the SEC and Big Ten. Not sure about that diss on Penn State either, since those games came before any of the current players on the teams were even conceived, whatever makes you feel happy I guess.

"Auburn would have been around 3rd or fourth place in the Big XII."

So you're saying that Iowa/Kansas/Oklahoma State & Texas are potentially better than Auburn, Alabama, and to an extent Georgia, Florida, even LSU? Big Yikes there dude, not going to lie.

"Nothing about their offense scares anyone. Bo Nix ain’t gonna beat anyone with his arm."

Well Auburn is 9-3 and all three of their losses coming from Top 10 teams, so I'd be ok with a Freshman QB.
Re: last paragraph

Tired of hearing about Auburn's losses. Who did they beat?

Big 12 are still behind Big Ten and SEC. Pretty decent gap IMO. It's really only been Oklahoma for the past few years. The Runner up is seriously Baylor who could've lost to Rice for Pete's sake.

I know what Rhule has done with them, went from 1-11 to 11-1.
Doesn't change the fact that they're objectively not a Top 10 team

Of course the B12 isn’t better than the B10 or SEC. But if you aren’t putting Baylor as a top 10 team, you damn sure better not be putting Penn State in the top 10 ethier. They very well could have ended the year with 4 loses. An that performance to Rutgers to end the year was pitiful.

First off, Baylor could very well have had six losses, so this whole PSU "could've been a four loss team!" isn't working.
And seriously, you're going to take the game that no one took seriously+not even our starting QB was playing game vs Rutgers as a legitimate scale of PSU's quality.
Wow.

Wow.

I was using your “they could of lost to rice” nonsense against PSU. Ive watched your horrid offense all year. Thank God for PSU to have the Maryland game to help with stats. Don’t you act like most other retard Penn State fans around me act like it’s good. PSU has no quality on offense. But we already know your answer to that.

Damnit Ralphie, I hate arguing with you twice in one day, but that's just silly to say Penn State has no quality on offense. Clifford had 4 total TDs apiece against michigan and Michigan State, and they were both top 20 overall in total defense. They lost a ton from last year but they're far from being horrid on offense. They're still top 25 overall scoring offense.

PSU was around 70th in total offense, that would qualify as slightly "below average" for FBS teams.

Why provide a link that has different rankings than your post?
Because the link had different rankings when I posted it, more rankings came in after my post.

The PAC is now ranked 4th of P5 conferences.

...and the Big XII is still ranked best. :happy:

They were also 38th in points per play though. I'm not saying they're elite, but still better than "no quality".

Big 10 has to be the best.

My pure awesome Huskers couldn't win more than 2 conference games to get bowl eligible.

B10 it is.

LOL Take away the Maryland game, they prolly aren’t top 50 in scoring offense. An as occy said, they are 70th in total offense. That’s bad.
