What does What If Sports think of Bob Stoops and Andy Staples

My twitter feed is abuzz today with Bob Stoops questioning the depth of greatness in the SEC. SI's Andy Staples posed the question of what the record would be a in head-to-head 1-10 match-ups.
I went to the website WhatIfSports.com to see what the simulators think.

I used the 2012 versions of the respective teams based their standings on the ESPN college football standings page.

Surprisingly enough, we end up with the Big 12 holding a 6-4 advantage. Of course since we care more about how the boneg would have faired...

It isn't pretty. The boneg finishes 3-9 and all 3 wins are likely upsets. It ends up much like Michigan's split MNC year of 1997-98 - the only conference wins are Michigan, Purdue and Nebraska...
