Default Which Conference..................
is which?

The Big Ten currently has twelve teams and

The Big Twelve currently has ten teams.

How could this seeming inconsistency be explained logically to someone who had just learned the English language, but knew nothing about sports?

I think we are doomed. Enjoy your water.

Ah, we are back to the "driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway" school of logic.

At least the PAC-12 is right.

These are just recognizable names, the numbers are just symbolic.

University of Colorado is in the PAC-12 and Texas A&M is in the SEC.

Yes, but the PAC 12 used to be the PAC 10. The only logical result that our

visiting alien could conclude from the three conferences would be

10=12

Going by that same logic, since SMU is going to be in the Big East, or whatever's left of it.

Texas=East Coast

I miss the Southwest Conference, where everything made sense except Arkansas.
