[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2599622, member: 72863"] Here's another equally plausible scenario. USC plays 8 conference games but loses to Boise State in OOC and misses the playoffs. Alabama plays 9 conference games and adds South Carolina to what would otherwise be an 8-game conference schedule and wins easily. They still go 11-1 and make the playoffs. The idea that 9-game conference schedules are easier than 8-game schedules is nonsense. In some years, and in some conferences, that very well may be the case depending on which teams are involved. Even in most years that would generally be the case. But just for example, our schedule would be much, much more difficult if we had a 7-game Big 12 schedule and didn't play Kansas and Baylor and instead played Houston and Boise State. You have to measure each team's SOS by who they play, not simply by how many P5 teams they play. [/QUOTE]
