Big 12 slightly superior to SEC

There's an assumption among the so-called college football "experts" that the Southeastern Conference is the strongest football conference in the nation. That's because, I think, SEC teams have dominated the BCS championship games with a different SEC team winning it each year. But is it really accurate to say -- from top to bottom -- the SEC is superior to the Big 12? I decided to take a look at my ratings of all the FBS teams, strip away all those except the SEC and Big 12 teams and examine the results. Here is that ranking.

1.  Alabama (SEC)
2.  Kansas State (Big 12)
3.  Florida (SEC)
4.  LSU (SEC)
5.  Oklahoma (Big 12)
6.  Georgia (SEC)
7.  South Carolina (SEC)
8.  Texas A&M (SEC)
9.  Texas Tech (Big 12)
10. Mississippi State (SEC)
11. Oklahoma State (Big 12)
12. Texas (Big 12)
13. West Virginia (Big 12)
14. Iowa State (Big 12)
15. TCU (Big 12)
16. Mississippi (SEC)
17. Missouri (SEC)
18. Tennessee (SEC)
19. Baylor (Big 12)
20. Vanderbilt (SEC)
21. Arkansas (SEC)
22. Auburn (SEC)
23. Kentucky (SEC)
24. Kansas (Big 12)

So while the SEC dominates the top of the rankings with seven of the top 10, it also dominates the bottom of the rankings with seven of the bottom nine, which proves to me that, overall, the Big 12 is the superior conference -- this year, at least.
