Pat White in his freshman year was about as bad passing-wise as Mustain was this year, and you can't tell me that Arkansas doesn't play better defenses than West Virginia does. We aren't talking about last year. We're talking about this year. This year White was a far better than Mustain and Dick, who you conveniently left off and is a sophomore and attempted just as many passes as Mustain did. This year, White had a far higher completion percentage, yards per attempt, more touchdowns, fewer picks and a way higher QB rating. Even if we were looking at each's freshman year, White as a freshman was better than Mustain. White had a higher completion percentage, more yards per attempt and a higher QB rating. Arkansas played 14 games, 6 of them against teams in the top 20. West Virginia played 13 games, 2 of them against teams in the top 25(and Louisville isn't exactly known for it's defense). There's clearly a strength of schedule component to consider with the difference in the quality of the two teams' opponents. Again, since the SEC has 12 teams and they do not play anyone out of conference this "top 25" thing is built on nothing. Read what I wrote about non-conference schedule, the top 3 SEC teams played 1 Bowl team...1. If Pitt, Cincy and SFlorida played AA teams out of conference they could have gone undefeated too and had a shot at being in the top 25. How did Arkansas do against USC? There is a reason these teams don't play anyone. They played USC(dominated a BCS bowl) out of conference, then Florida, LSU(dominated a BCS bowl), Tennessee(lost a close bowl game against a similar B10 team), Auburn(won a close bowl game against a similar B12 team), and Wisconsin(who beat Arkansas in a close bowl game). This is a tired argument, you're wrong. And Pitt, Cincy, and South Florida are not on the same plane as Auburn or Tennessee, not even if they played a joke non-conference schedule(oh wait, Pitt and USF already did). Even attempting to make this argument makes you appear like you can't be rational about the Big East.
