Because before the BCS started the PAC 12 had 1 and the SUC had 2 football titles in the 80's and 90's. Dominating! Yay "conference"! Give yourself another participation ribbon for jumping on the "conference" bandwagon!
I LMFAO at you, guido. Here is a look how far off your perception is from reality. PAC football is far inferior to SEC football.
Sorry Pac-12, our findings favor the SEC, big time.
•The SEC has an all-time record of 111-76-10 (152-107-13 when you add MU-CU) and a winning percentage of .589 in head-to-head matchups against Pac-12 teams.
•The LSU Tigers own the Pac-12 Conference in football. LSU has the best head-to-head record of any SEC or Pac-12 team. The Tigers are 22-4 overall with a winning percentage of .846 against the Pac-12. Wonder how many National Championships LSU could have won if it had joined the Pac-12 instead of the SEC?
•The Ole Miss Rebels have never played a Pac-12 team in football. Vandy has played one, Kentucky and South Carolina each played two, and MSU has played three games against opponents from the Pac-12.
•USC has a 22-11-1 record against SEC football teams and a winning percentage of .662. Best by far of the Pac-12 schools in matchups against the SEC. Two other Pac-12 teams have winning records against the SEC – Stanford and UCLA. Cal is stuck on .500.
•The Kentucky Wildcats have never lost a football game to a Pac-12 opponent. Yes, Big Blue is 2-0 all-time against the Pac-12. In both victories, the Wildcats stuck it to the Beavers from Oregon State.
•Tennessee has played the most football games against Pac-12 opponents, a total of 35 games. Mizzou (30 not counting CU games) is next, followed by Texas A&M (29), LSU (26), Alabama (23), and Georgia (17).
•Alabama has the only winning record among SEC teams against the USC Trojans. Bama has taken 5 out of 7 games from the Boys from Troy dating back to 1938.
•In 1990, Colorado’s 11-1-1 National Championship season was marred by a 31-31 tie against Tennessee in the season opener and the Five Downs Game against Missouri during the sixth week. In the Five Downs Game, the Buffs were allowed an extra down to score a touchdown and win on the game’s final play.
•The SEC holds a 16-3-1 record against the two Arizona schools, an 18-6-1 record against the two Oregon schools, and a 19-3 record against the two Washington schools. Yep, that’s 53-12-5 or a .793 winning percentage against half of the Pac-12.
•The very first meeting between SEC and Pac-12 teams took place on October 21, 1921. That day Texas A&M beat Arizona 17-13.
•The second meeting between future members of the SEC and Pac-12 was on Christmas Day back in 1924. USC beat Mizzou 20-7 in the Los Angeles Christmas Festival Bowl, giving the Tigers its only loss that year. Missouri returned the favor in 1976 by beating the Trojans 46-25 at the Coliseum. USC finished 11-1 that year, #2 in the final polls behind Pitt.
•In 1926, Alabama became the first southern college football team to be invited to play in the Rose Bowl. The Tide beat the Washington Huskies 20-19 in its first game against a future Pac-12 opponent. Bama is 4-0 all-time against UW.
