You want some knowledge sunshine? Here you go...I hope you can make it through all of this as it includes far more data than any post you've ever created.

SEC: 30-10 (75%)

Shall I continue and break down the top 6 teams from each conference? I think I shall...

ACC: 6-1 (87%)
Big 10: 4-1 (80%)
Big 12: 4-2 (67%)

Big 12: 1-0 (100%)
SEC: 2-1 (67%)
Big 10: 1-1 (50%)
Pac 12: 0-0 they haven't played anyone ranked out of conference

Shall we get into the bottom 4 of each conference? We shall...

Bottom 4 Record vs. non-conference Power 5 teams
Big 10: 2-3 (40%)
Pac 12: 1-2 (33%)
SEC: 1-3 (25%)
ACC: 0-4 (0%)
Big 12: 0-4 (0%)

Bottom 4 Record vs. non Power 5 teams
SEC: 5-0 (100%)
Big 10: 5-2 (71%)
Pac 12: 4-4 (50%)
Big 12: 4-4 (50%)
ACC: 0-4 (0%)

Bottom 4 Record vs. non-conference Top 25 teams
SEC: 1-2 (33%)
No ACC, Big 10, or Big 12 team has beaten a top 25 team out of conference.
No PAC 12 team has played a top 25 team out of conference.

Your premise that everyone can agree that the PAC 12 is the best conference is not supported. Sorry chief. Yes, the PAC 12 is a very good conference, but not at all the far-and-away best...you know, based on the actual data.
