What We Learned, No. 5: SEC Often Offensive With Ball

   Criticism from Big 12 backers that the SEC has too many popgun offenses is increasingly valid. Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Auburn and Tennessee all lost primarily because of pathetic attacks. Even in victory, South Carolina's was sorry.

   The quarterbacks' revolving door dilemma is evidence of offensive ineptitude. More than half of the teams have a time-share situation or cannot settle on one guy.

   If you have been dazzled by Texas, Teas Tech, Oklahoma and Missouri, you can understand why the SEC's defense-trumps-all argument is shaky. Year in and year out, the jury of football gods would rule in your favor. This year? Guilty of offensive blahs.

   Have you watched much Big 12? What do you think a hypothetical 12-game matchup (1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, etc.) would show?
