plenty of people, esp on premium have said they are equal to the SEC. just on this thread you have someone saying the big 12 cant have 3 of the best 8 teams in the country because they have only won 1 national title in 20 yrs.
put it this way, every negative claim about the b12 from the "truthers" sounds like a sound bite you would hear in a sales pitch or a political ad, and not at all like something that would come up in a conversation between two college hoops fans. it is inauthentic and doesnt pass the common sense smell test.

I don't have premium anymore.. so please show proof where anyone claimed the SEC is equal. I will laugh at them with you.

But do you have any arguments against my peronsal claims. And I admit we can disagree.. but I've watched a lot of both leagues, and I just don't see the Big 12 going past the elite 8.

In what world do you live that you don't think kansas looks like a final four team?

History. They haven't been to the s16 since 2013, yet they've won their conference 12 years in a row. They also haven't won their conference tournament since 2013, so if I'm using history, the s16 looks attainable. At least this year their only bad loss is okie st. The b12 has underperformed in the tournament in the past few years.

Gotta have that 3 seed, gotta stay out of the 1 bracket.

I'd normally agree... But freaking Virginia is about to get a 1 seed with 7 losses. Not a knock on UVA they are rly good this year but the point is the field is very very wide open this year. None of the projected 1 seeds are that much better than the 4/5 seeds.

A win against the Wildcats will probably produce a #3 seed.

Go Aggies.
