Tell me about it. Could you imagine if any of those teams had to play in Tuscaloosa in 2023? They would've been SLAUGHTERED, right? Right???

Oh... well, at least Bama had a bad year and lost multiple games against other SEC opponents, right? Right???

Oh...

Using that logic the PAC 12 was better than the Big 12 and Washington better than Texas because when they played Washington prevailed.

What that logic fails to address is Texas did indeed beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa in what, week 2 of the regular season? Then fell to Oklahoma who lost to such gauntlets as Kansas and Oklahoma State and Texas did not face a team that finished in the top 25 until they lost to Washington. They did not beat Alabama in late October after playing in Baton Rouge and Knoxville and even Lexington where the Wildcats have more talent than anyone UT and OU played regularly prior to next year that was not Texas or OU. It ain't close...the talent and the coaching in the SEC is heads and shoulders better than that in the Big 12 or ANY conference that OU and UT played in historically. At best OU is in the bottom half of the middle and Texas is around the 3rd or 4th most talented team in the conference and closed to 4 and 5 than they are to 1 and 2. It ain't the same game.
