SEC is a three team conference. And Vandy is actually not better than WSU. They are both garbage.

Pac-10 has 6 top-25 teams. SEC has 3.

The MWC has 3

Pac-10 has 6 top-25 teams. SEC has 3.

The Big 12 has two!  Frankly I find even that number a bit questionable.

This weekend definitely showed this league is nothing but a total shitfest.  Every team races each other to 6-6 mediocrity.

So what happens if both TCU and Boise St. end the year in the top 6? Do both get to go to a BCS game?

Hopefully neither of them do.

Quick calculations- off conference records so far this year
SEC 35-6
Pac 10 20-9

But the Pac 10 schedules WAC teams so I guess that makes up for it...

This, but unfortunately one of them is guaranteed a BCS bid.

Those records are completely meaningless without who those wins are against.  I mean Texas has not lost a non-conference game since 2006 but um...most of those games have been against Central Florida and Louisiana Monroe.

Why all the hate for the MWC?

Well, mostly it's SEC teams beating up on small Southern schools and Pac 10 teams beating up on small Western schools. I don't think it's completely meaningless though; it does say something about the quality of the teams on the bottom of the conference.

[PDH]

Because it is the non-BCS conference that actually has been (at least for the past 6 years) stronger than at least one of the BCS conferences.  You have to hate what you fear.

For those(paging Dr. Money) who like the numbers behind the standings:

Only the higher ranked team is guaranteed a slot. Given that TCU still has a top-25 team on their schedule (and the MIGHTY University of Wyoming), if they win out they should get it.

Actually, what makes up for it is that the SEC plays more OOC games. Rather than play against their own conference, they each play one more game out of conference. And they sure aren't replacing a SEC game with anything but some crap school they can pound on.

That makes a huge difference, and is one reason why the Pac-10 has by far the best overall SOS in the country.
