SEC and Big 12 rule day so far
Wow, talk about a hostile takeover. Eight of the top 10 spots in this week’s Associated Press college football poll are occupied by teams from the SEC and Big 12.
How does that happen? There were supposed to be six Bowl Championship Series so-called “super-conferences” — not two.
Between them, the SEC and Big 12 can boast 13 unbeaten teams heading into Week 5. The other four BCS-affiliated conferences — the Pac-10, Big 10, ACC and Big East — have eight, combined. The Pac-10 and ACC each have just one remaining unbeaten, No. 1 Southern Cal and No. 16 Wake Forest, respectively.
Big 12 and SEC commissioners Dan Beebe and Mike Slive must be reveling in the success. And their business models must be the envy of every other BCS conference commish.
