I am getting so sick of the love for the SEC and Big and all of the complete disrespect of the Big 12. Why don't we have any analysts out there putting out blind resumes and being critical of the bias? I mean I know the answer is pretty much ESPN but is it all about conference affiliation or the name of your school? Would Texass be getting disrespected like BYU or Colorado if still in Big 12 with 1 conference loss? I have no doubt that Texass would have a loss in the Big 12 too. They have zero wins against current top 25 teams. They beat Michigan and OU early in the season when they were ranked. Those teams are average at best now. They beat Vandy by 3, who's also no longer in the top 25. They lost to UGA by 15. I mean no teams have super impressive resumes that indicate they're much better than any of the others. Look below and decide for yourself. I'll list out the top 14 teams below in order.

Oregon beat #2 Ohio State by 1. The game was at Oregon. They have a win over #12 Boise State and a 3rd win over #25 Illinois. That's probably most impressive resume.

Ohio State has very close loss to #1, 7 point win at #4 Penn State

Texass already mentioned they have zero wins against current top 25 teams.

PSU has one win over #25 Illinois by 14 points

Indiana has zero wins against top 25 teams

Notre Dame has 1 win over #15 A$M

Bama has a win over #10 UGA, blowout win over #23 Mizzou (and blowout win over LSU who's no longer in top 25)

Miami has zero wins against top 25 teams and a loss to 6-4 Georgia Tech last week.

Ole Miss has win over #10 UGA and loss to 4-6 Kentucky

UGA has win over #17 Clemson, #3 Texass, and #11 Tennessee. I'm sure they're wondering why Texass sits at #3 and they're #10. That loss to Ole Miss sucks for them but they do have more impressive wins than anyone. No one else can claim 3 wins over current top 25 teams other than #1 Oregon right now.

Tennessee has win over #7 Bama

Boise State has 5 point win over #24 UNLV and of course their 3 point loss to #1 Oregon that seems to be keeping them up higher than they should be

SMU beat Louisville and Pitt when they were still ranked but neither are now. They don't own wins over any current top 25 teams

BYU beat #13 SMU on the road by 3. They killed KState when they were ranked but no longer are.
