Does HeismanPundit make any more sense than Les Miles?

HeismanPundit takes a courageous stand against Les Miles’ recent bout of diarrhea of the mouth here.

It’s really nothing more than another opportunity presented for HP to take a few whacks at the SEC so he can defend the honor of the poor ol’ unfairly maligned Pac-10. But amid all the condescension, here’s what I don’t get…

First, he says,

I’ve been a long-time challenger of the lazy status quo position that the SEC is year-in and year-out the best conference in college football. Some years–like last year–it is the best…

But then he writes that he doesn’t

… understand how a conference that plays the toughest schedules can’t be considered the best (ed: Who is the Pac-10 playing to make it so tough? Answer: Mostly other Pac-10 teams)…

while in the same breath making the assertion that…

Conversely, the Pac-10 plays a round-robin schedule, where no team is missed. What’s more, the conference tends to schedule tougher out-of-conference opponents and also plays more road games. This more than tips the schedule toughness ledger squarely in the Pac-10’s corner.

This is why every year we see football guru Phil Steele rate the Pac-10 schedules as the nation’s toughest. [Emphasis added.]

Soooo, the Pac-10 has the toughest schedules every year, the toughest schedules make for the best-est conference, but even HP admits that the SEC was the nation’s best last year. I’m having trouble doing the math here.

HP’s right about one thing, though. It is a damned shame his comments section ain’t working.

UPDATE: Evidently HP has fixed his comments problem, which is why his “I wish comments were working” line has been edited from his post. Much hilarity to ensue now, I’m sure.
