Musings of a Dead Parrot

Lots of arguing back and forth between the Pac 10 and SEC fans and coaches. Mostly about the primacy of SEC and inferiority of the Pac 10. Lots of evidence that the SEC is a very good conference and lots of evidence that the Pac 10 is far from inferior. With regard to the latter, I offer the following comparison of coaches in the respective conferences:

There are 8 coaches in the SEC that have won their division (Saban, Nutt, Tuberville, Miles, Fulmer, Spurrier, Meyer, Richt)
There are 6 coaches in the SEC that have won the SEC outright (Saban, Tuberville, Fulmer, Spurrier, Meyer, Richt)
There are 5 coaches in the Pac 10 that have won the Pac 10 (Carroll, Tedford, Willingham, Bellotti, Erickson). Note: the Pac 10 does not have divisions.

There are 8 coaches in the SEC that have won 10 games (Saban, Nutt, Tuberville, Miles, Fulmer, Spurrier, Richt, Meyer)
There are 8 coaches in the Pac 10 that have won 10 games (Carroll, Tedford, Willingham, Bellotti, Erickson, Doba, Riley, Dorrell)

There are 7 coaches in the SEC that have won 10 games more than once (Saban, Nutt, Tuberville, Miles, Fulmer, Spurrier, Richt)
There are 4 coaches in the Pac 10 that have won 10 games more than once (Carroll, Tedford, Bellotti, Erickson)

There are 7 coaches in the SEC that have won 11 games in a season. (Saban, Tuberville, Miles, Fulmer, Spurrier, Richt Meyer)
There are 3 coaches in the Pac 10 that have won 11 games in a season (Carroll, Bellotti, Erickson)

There are 6 coaches in the SEC that have won 11 games more than once (Saban, Tuberville, Miles, Fulmer, Spurrier, Richt)
