re: The next time someone says Big 12 is smarter than SEC,

I always find rankings of undergraduate rankings silly to begin with.

undergrad is undergrad is undergrad.... there's basically no difference practically-speaking in an undergraduate degree from Ole Miss and Harvard and Jacksonville State and Florida International and Princeton.

Is there a perception? Certainly. But at the end of the day undergraduate degrees and the knowledge that comes with those respective degrees are all the same across the board.

Biology class at one school is no different than biology class at another school. Marketing class at one school is no different than marketing class at another school. Algebra at one school is no different than algebra at another school. I could go on and on...
