The Big 12 is definitely not a cake walk, I’ve always mentioned them as a tough conference. A big difference is the average teams in the SEC recruiting is ranked in the top 30, last season Arkansas and State both went 1-7 in conference play, but Arkansas came very close to beating LSU 34-31,Ole Miss 27-20 and Bama 24-21 but only scored 3 vs State. Also State beat Arizona not only beat them but they were actually leading 21-7 at one point of the game. They beat Arizona the same amount of points Washington did. The point that I’m trying to make is when you hear how much the SEC is a grind, they referring to the lower tier teams that’ll will get you. They’re not your normal (average) teams. I actually have Oklahoma going 9-3, with losses to Auburn, Ole Miss and LSU. Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Bama are toss ups. An interesting fact is that QB JA used to live in Georgia, he grew up watching SEC football. I honestly think the Arizona game was a really good experience lesson for him to take into the season
