We were above average in a weak conference. Got our ass handed to us by a good to great team nationally. Our conference's best team is getting completely demolished by the #1 team. The idea of us ever competing on a national scale seems like a junkies pipe dream even with the unprecedented success that we have had.
Hello darkeness my old friend.
We are behind the best teams in the SEC and Big 10. But what have you seen from the ACC besides Clemson, that says, "power league", or the Pac 12?
What the Big 12 is missing is an elite team or two, just very good. OU is a really good team, the rest of the league was average to a little bit above. What the league did not have is truly ****** teams, like the rest of the power 5 leagues have. No Rutgers, no Arkansas's, or most of the teams in the ACC.
Good but not great teams.
