re: Heard a lot of Bo Nix guys talking JD stat padding

He was basically calling out the SEC because the Pac 12 was very strong at that point in time, generally considered the second best conference in the country (behind the SEC, who played 8 games). 2013, 2014 Pac 12 meant 50% of your conference games were against teams that finished ranked. They had at that point been playing a 9 game conference schedule for many years. It started in the mid 00's I think.

Basically, they were playing 10 or 11 P5 teams a year while other conferences weren't, and they wanted to crow about it.
