Now they've only played 3 games so far, but their 0-3 and got thoroughly destroyed in 2 of them. All of those people that claimed they are the best conference may be very wrong.

Agreed, but normally people disregard the "scrub" bowl games and look towards the bigger match ups to judge conference strength (right or wrong).
Oklahoma looked like garbage, but they have looked that way all season.

unless those bowl games are Big Ten teams. fuck those guys.
OU has to be the WORST team in the BCS+ era. But yet...OSU has the national consensus of being the most overrated. fuck the B12.

That's kinda of hard on OU there. Yes in the big games of recent they have sucked. But in order to get to the big games you must have done somthing right to get the. Playing in 4 NC games wining one and lossing 3 is not great odds but it still a good accomplishment. OSU yes have been calledthe most overrated but that is not desevering of that title either.
Sorry to be so harsh. OU is not the worst team in the BCS era. That's hyperbole. I'm just sick of people saying it's my Buckeyes when other teams have done as bad or worse.
From my experience in watching college football, and that may not count for much but it's my experience, conferences are good when their perennial good teams are in the top of the conference. You can tell they are down when middling teams in their conference take the lead. Texas and Oklahoma were major disappointments this year, while TCU and Baylor ruled the roost. That tells me that the Big XII is not at their best. Same with the SEC as the Mississippis seemed to take a leading role with Alabama looking a bit weak in-conference compared to recent seasons. Oh, and the SEC East...yikes.
I think the best conference right now is the PAC-12, even though USC is down, much of the rest are doing great. And let's face it, Oregon is well past the point of being a fluke. They are, in my opinion, the best team in the country this year. I really hate saying that, but that is my observation.
I think the Big Ten is at least solid in the middle of the power 5, not at the bottom like everyone likes to say they are. And I thought the ACC was weak most of the season, but now I'm not entirely sure. NCState and VT really surprised me. Heck, even Duke did with how close the made that game with ASU. Boston College and Miami both played close, and Clemson blew out Oklahoma. ACC isn't looking as weak as I thought so far.
I can't really rank the conferences at this point, other than PAC12 as #1, but the Big XII is looking like the bottom of the power 5 right now.

Chokelahoma should definitely get more flack for dropping BCS games, but they don't represent the "big evil north". That's how the Buckeyes are looked at. Ohio State is like General Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant, and the whole Union Army rolled into one for those 'neath the Mason-Dixon. So they get all the hate from the SEC crowd, and thus get all the hate from ESecPN.
And the better the Buckeyes do, the worse it will get, not better.
I'll tell y'all, southern tears are the very sweetest, just like Vidalia onions, Georgia peaches, and Southern belles.
