Which NFL All-Star offense is Better? Big 12 vs SEC

 Let's enjoy a fun post today and ponder which NFL team would have a better offense. One made up of former Big 12 players? Or one made up of former SEC players. Before we look at the rosters, here are some clarifications:

1) If a player transferred in college, he counts as having gone to his most recent university.

2) Players from Texas and Oklahoma count as Big 12 players, as they played in the Big 12 while they were in college. Likewise, players from Missouri count as SEC players unless they played before 2012.

Without further adieu, here are the projected offensive lineups:

Big 12:

QB: Patrick Mahomes II (Kansas City - Texas Tech)

RB: Bijan Robinson (Atlanta - Texas)

WR: CeeDee Lamb (Dallas - Oklahoma)

WR: Marquise Brown (Arizona - Oklahoma)

WR: Tyler Lockett (Seattle - Kansas State)

TE: Mark Andrews (Baltimore - Oklahoma)

OT: Trent Williams (San Francisco - Oklahoma)

OT: Lane Johnson (Philadelphia - Oklahoma)

OG: Cody Whitehair (Chicago - Kansas State)

OG: Ben Powers (Denver - Oklahoma)

C: Creed Humphrey (Kansas City - Oklahoma)

P: Michael Dickson (Seattle - Texas)

K: Justin Tucker (Baltimore - Texas)


SEC:

QB: Joe Burrow (Cincinnati - LSU)

RB: Derrick Henry (Tennessee - Alabama)

WR: Justin Jefferson (Minnesota - LSU)

WR: Ja'marr Chase (Cincinnati - LSU)

WR: Jaylen Waddle (Miami - Alabama)

TE: Kyle Pitts (Atlanta - Florida)

OT: Laremy Tunsil (Houston - Ole Miss)

OT: La'el Collins (Cincinnati - LSU) 

OG: Elgton Jenkins (Green Bay - Mississippi State)

OG: Trey Smith (Kansas City - Tennessee)

C: David Andrews (New England - Georgia)

P: Logan Cooke (Jacksonville - Mississippi State)

K: Daniel Carlson (Las Vegas - Auburn)


Who would win? Here is my take: After looking at the rosters, the first thing the stood out to me was how dominant the SEC team's WR corps would be. They have a huge advantage there. Running back is hard to project because we have yet to see Bijan Robinson play a down in the NFL. Henry's age is a factor here, but I say the SEC gets the benefit of the doubt at running back. The Big 12 team, however, seems to have the advantage everywhere else. They have Mahomes at QB, plus a better TE, a better o-line (which surprised me), a better punter, and a better kicker. Given all of this, I like the Big 12 team to win this one. However, Big 12 fans must take this projected win with a huge grain of salt for two reasons. First off, their team is very Oklahoma (a team leaving for the SEC) heavy. Second, I think its no secret the all SEC team would field a stouter defense. 

There is one thing we have to consider here though. I might be wrong! Let me know in the comments what you would change about these teams and who you think would win.
