"East boy"? You need to learn your geography.

And 2nd toughest conference?! That right there is what you call west coast blinders. I'm not even going to argue where the Big XII ranks over all, but I will say this. Texas and Texas Tech (and maybe Colorado?) pretty much make up the Big XII this year. And don't look now, but Oklahoma is starting to role again. (I hope everyone enjoyed their down year because it appears to be over. ) Anyway, Tech was the 4th best Big XII team last year and kicked the crap out of your #2 team... annihilated them. We're (Tech) even better this year, so it's safe to say the 2 best Big XII are better than the 2 best Pac-"1" teams. I'm willing to bet that Colorado would beat your #3 team. Still, overall, top to bottom... both conferences are weak compared to everyone else. Don't kid yourself about the strengh of the Pac-"1".

BTW, Mineral... how about your Aggies!
