Throw in the Temple victory over Maryland and the EMU victory over Illinois, and it is easy to see that the Big Ten is by far not the best conference.
No, the Big 10 has had a hideous weekend so far. But collectively after week 3, who is better?
I'm willing to put the Big XII at the top if Iowa State wins
I think the Big 12 has clearly been better than the B1G.
That may be true, but they are clearly not better than the SEC. Besides the fact that the SEC has the most talent of any FBS conference, they dominate the top ten rankings:

For a second straight week, the Southeastern Conference has three top-five teams and half of the top 10.
SEC - 6 (Nos. 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 17).
Pac-12 - 6 (Nos. 10, 16, 19, 22, 23, 24)
Big Ten - 5 (Nos. 6, 11, 13, 13 (tie), 18).
Big 12 - 3 (Nos. 5, 12, 25).
ACC - 2 (Nos. 1, 21).
Here is an interesting article on the possibility of three SEC schools in the playoffs:

The SEC is the one conference that has an opportunity to get more than one school in. No other conference could get more than one school in the playoffs, if that. The Big 12 had a good week, but Iowa State did lose to Iowa and Arizona rolled over Texas Tech, 28-14.
