Why is no one talking about Herbstreit's comments about the PAC and Big12????

I for one would like to see some comparative data that shows any difference between say the Big 12 and the B1G. Why was the ACC left out of the discussion? Does that mean he thinks the PAC and Big 12 are THE worst conferences? Yes they were "raided" by the SEC and B1G but it wasn't because they were 'Bad" conferences. Anyone??

Because, I for one, don't put a lot of credence to what women have to say about CFB.

Hard to argue against PAC12 being labeled as the worst when they have proved it true for a decade straight. ACC is left out because for a few years Clemson was a powerhouse and they mattered to the discussion.

Utah may be the only team in the PAC12 that has been consistently good. The issue is they also consistently drop games they have no business losing eliminating them from the discussion.

YES, the Big 12 and PAC aren't any different than the B1G and it isn't just this year. We fans tend to focus on one or two games and draw conclusions about entire conferences. The fact that TCU lost to UGa badly seems to taint some people vision of the Big 12. Blow-outs are part of football and shouldn't be taken tooooo seriously. What about the fact that Purdue lost to LSU 63-7 THIS bowl season?

Also,
2021 Michigan (+12-2, # 1 B1G team ) lost to Georgia (+14-1, # 1 SEC team) by 23 points (11 - 34)
2020 Ohio State (+7-1, # 1 B1G team ) lost to Alabama (+13-0, # 1 SEC team) by 28 points (24 - 52)
2016 Ohio State (+11-2-0, # 1 B1G team ) lost to Clemson (+14-1, # 1 ACC team) by 31 points (0 - 31)
2006 Ohio State (+12-1-0, # 1 B1G team ) lost to Florida (+13-1, # 1 SEC team) by 27 points (14 - 41)
2004 Iowa (+10-2-0, # 1 B1G team ) lost to Arizona State (+9-3, # 4 PAC team) by 37 points (7 - 44)

I am still waiting for data to support the greatness of the B1G? In my opinion the B1G is the 3rd or 4th best conference.
