AP Poll?

I don't think an 8-4 team being ranked at the end of the season is very odd. Playoff Committee had five 8-4 teams ranked in their final poll before the Bowls/Playoffs:

2 Pac 12
2 SEC
1 Big 10

So are we going to start complaining about the Pac 12 now too?

Yes.
 
2011: Big XII 7-6 (4-5)
2012: SEC 11-2 (6-2)

Looks like a correlation / causation fallacy to me. Manziel redshirted in 2011. 2012 was his debut and I'm pretty sure A&M would have dominated the Big XII that year if they had remained.

You were probably just addressing the regression comment, but what he said was that they had regressed every year IN the SEC. Not in the transition from Big XII to SEC. Which is true: 11-2, 9-4, 8-5 in the SEC.
 
2011: Big XII 7-6 (4-5)
2012: SEC 11-2 (6-2)

you left off the rest which is:

2013: 9-4 (4-4) with the best QB in all of College Football

2014: 8-5 (3-5)

2016: They are staring 6-6 (2-6) in the face.
