2nd in AP Poll

But it is hard to argue with four top 10 teams.

Not really, since 2 of them shouldn't be in the top 10. Oklahoma? Any team that gets blown out by 3 TD's in their bowl game by a team without a coach shouldn't be in the top 10. And neither should Mizzou, since OU is better and should be higher, based on the fact they beat them TWICE, once early in the season and at the end. Maybe one loss, but losing twice to a team in a season proves that team is better. Mizzou only got ranked that high by beating Arkansas, who to call the SEC's 7th best team would be generous.

Agreed!

I don't agree...2 in the top 10? I say only ONE should be in the top ten....Kansas.

You're probably right, wlayton, I was just giving Texas the benefit of the doubt for a good win over a decent team in their bowl game.

Ok, I can buy that.

I agree w/RxDawgboy's, top 3 divisions assesment. Unlike the SEC, even though the East is the tougher division, the Big 12 is really way out of balance with all of the powerhouses in the South Division. Also, regardless of the final rankings I also agree that the Big 12 was clearly the 2nd best overall conference to the SEC this season.

7 & 2, not too shabby, c'mon Gators, we should've been 8 & 1.
SEC! SEC! SEC!
