re: Big 12 stronger than the SEC?

I live in TX too, so I feel your pain. I do disagree, however, that the Big 12 is stronger than the SEC. Georgia's offense is as good or better than any in the Big 12. It is certainly more balanced. The difference is defense. All SEC schools have good defenses, so it's hard to judge SEC offenses, but I do believe that most SEC schools have a better balance of offense and defense and are, therefore, better teams. Florida is a better team than Tech, Alabama is a better team than Texas, Georgia may even be a better team than Oklahoma, and LSU is better than any other team in the Big 12. We're not talking landslides, but even in a somewhat down year the SEC is stronger at the top and across the board.
