[QUOTE="43rd Parallel, post: 129419290, member: 1065941"] Every time I hear someone say the Big 12 doesn't play defense, I think, "Yeah, and the SEC doesn't develop quarterbacks." Putting that aside, if you're going to compare conferences, the defensive statistic that matters is [B]yards allowed per possession[/B]. A defense that gives up 500 yards in 100 possessions is considerably better than one that gives up 350 yards in 60 possessions. You and I can do the math, but the pundits on ESPN cannot be bothered. They'll just assume that the defense that gives up 350 yards per game is demonstrably and automatically better than the one that allows 500. [/QUOTE]
