I'll watch Florida and Kentucky over Louisville any day of the week.

The way Louisville got beat by KY (when they simply didn't cover a wide reciever on 4th down and long with 50 seconds to go in the game) was as disgraceful a way to lose as I have ever seen.

You are biased by the way...

We usually rate conferences in a comparative manner.

What conference is better than the SEC?
(Hint: The answer is: none are better.)

Rating conferences in a comparable manner is not exactly an exact science. Need I pull out the facts again?
Tennesse/Cal L
SC/Clemson L
FL/FL St W
LSU/Va Tech W
Wake/ Vandy L
GA/OK St W
GA/GA Tech W
Aub/S FL L
Aub/K ST W
Miss St/WV L
Mizzou/Ol Miss L
SC/NC W
KY/Lou W
Ala/FSU L

That is the SEC vs the other major conferences
7 wins 7 losses

Hardly dominant or clearly the best

I didnt even bring up UL Monroe

Of course you may choose to ignore the results of actual games and continue to rely on your personal polls and other such ranking tools. It would probably qualify you to be on the Board of the NCAA football playoff committee.

So what conference is better?
The best football I have seen this year is in the SEC.
The best athletes I have seen all around are in the SEC.

And I am a little 12 fan.

These are the 2 dumbest statements i have seen yet. The best athletes all around? Do they have a Punt, Pass and Kick contest at halftime of the games?

How does one determine that the LSU/Tennessee game is better football than the Missouri/Oklahome game?

1 play does not a game make.
let's be honest, there is no great team out there. hell, you'd have a hard time finding 5 solid-in-every-phase teams.
playoffs are the only way.
btw, what does it say for the big east when cincy is gonna get stuck in a crappy papa john's bowl? they haven't done a very good job w/ the bowl tie-ins.

It does when it happens like that. Coaches have got the axe for much less. The Big East is relatively new when it comes to having multiple teams at a national level. What is crappy is 6-6 teams playing in bowls.
