He has to say something. He's calling recruits and they're not giving him the time of day because coaches like Nick Saban are calling as well, then making public statements that make Stoops look like a child.
If Stoops and/or OU somehow ended up in the SEC he would be toting the SEC sign like a members jacket. It's the country club he's not a part of, and he sees the divide finally starting to actually take form.
Is it propaganda? No. The numbers speak for themselves. OU had a chance to quash the streak, they lost. The championships in the trophy rooms don't lie. The COACHES don't lie. Most of them have championship rings at home. These are not fabricated facts, and recruits' eyes get huge when SEC coaches show them the trophy room, or show up to their homes wearing shiny championship rings.
If it wasn't the best conference, then why does the best talent go there every single year? It's the amateur showcase of the football world. If you're serious about football as a career, that's where you go. That's where recruits want to go. That's where coaches want to go. That's where Directors want to be. That's where merchandise sells.
People are coming out of the woodwork on this site to slam the SEC. At this point the lines have been drawn with permanent markers, I know that these opinions are firm, and I know that they're usually cemented in fanhood. That's fine, that's why college football is great.
I'll play the game, because I like cfb coli talk.

or the amount of NFL talent from those conferences vs the SEC
the schedule is a gauntlet because you played 2 tough teams back to back, the rest of the schedule doesnt matter. Thanks for showing me the light.
