NB4 4d20 talks about how the SEC still has the toughest SoS.

Also, it's damn funny that the SEC has worked over the rest of college football so hard they are actually embracing the one SoS metric that is worst than win%.

Dominated and making excuses before the season even starts.

Who cares. All that matters is does that schedule get you into the playoffs at the end of the season.

Imagine half the NFL playing a 16 game schedule and the other half playing a 15 game schedule.

This would mean all P5 teams aren't equal.

:think:
Is it bad that was the first thing I was going to post?

And I agree with the logic that not all P5 are equal.

Keep drinking the ESP1N Kool-Aid.

I'd take a bet you have watched more ESPN in the past 24 hours than I have since the National Championship game.

Well it's common sense.

Except for people who need an excuse for why they don't have the same success.

Is playing Ohio State or Oklahoma the same as playing Illinois or Kansas? Obviously not so he is correct in that.

I do believe there needs to be some standardization in college football but I would prefer 8 conference games and 2 P5 games over 9 conference games and 1 P5. It allows for a better picture of which conferences are stronger than others. 9 conference games and only one P5 game only gives you a better idea of who is best in conference.
