The Big 12 has a 9-game conference schedule so it is a little different-they have 9 P5 opponents built in.

Look at the SEC west this year for a perfect example of inflated records. They played 5 power 5 teams ooc and only 1 ranked team in Wisc. Had loses to Memphis, Toledo, and Texas Tech. Then the middle teams played the bottom of the SEC east which was terrible.

By comparison the Big 10 West played 9 power 5 ooc and a team in each of the 4 ccg's on Saturday and TCU. Then Ill, Minn and NE had to play Mich, MSU and OSU. End the end the west ended up having two wins over top 6 teams.

How many teams on Bama's schedule would have winning records if they played a comparable schedules?

Which of the final four playoff teams had the toughest schedule? Oklahoma.

Having said that, I agree that the non-conference schedules of those teams were weak. But the conference schedules were definitely not.

Says who? The only team they have played that was remotely decent out of the Big 12 was Tennesee.....I guess we will find out soon but just because they beat some overrated Big 12 Teams does not make their schedule the best....I would argue that MSU had a way tougher schedule

I was basing that on a story in this morning's C.R. Gazette handicapping the playoffs. I don't follow the various "power ratings" closely enough to make that kind of determination on my own.

Oklahoma plays Houston and Ohio State next year. Thats legit. Also looks like the Big 12 didn't back load their schedule as much as they did this year.

Iowas non conferences schedule is ish....

B12 just announced today a requirement for each team to schedule an OOC P5 opponent. So things should improve.
