This year they are the #1 conference

Hardly a fluke since last year they were also the #1 conference

Now let's compare them to the year when Auburn went undefeated and I disagreed with anyone claiming that it was unfair for an SEC team to do undefeated and not make the National Championship game. And guess what, the SEC sucked that year, they were the #5 conference:

Those rankings are flawed in 2 ways. #1. is it favors the conferences with more teams because #2 It is basing it ratings on all non conference games including 1 AA teams. Therefore a conference with 12 teams will have 6 to 8 more easy wins than the 10 team conferences. And if you are such a big beliver in this system then why are you complaining about it's #1 and #2 ranked teams possibly meeting for the National Championship?
BTW-Missouri is not in the Big Ten
