[QUOTE="BearlyAFrog, post: 2809410, member: 72559"] I think you're trying to make an argument where there is none. I don't take issue with using the top 20 or 35 or 15. In all of those scenarios the Big-12 would have a better candidate than the Pac-12. I do take exception with using margin of victory as a metric. Before the SEC bought into some Big-12 offensive concepts they (and the Big-10) would routinely spend 3 hours to beat their opponents 17-10. I think most here would agree that Gary would be perfectly content winning every game by a touch down or less. The point is that offensive production is a matter of coaching preference and scheme. I think the more important metric would be if you won your games or not. There is always this perpetual myth about strength of schedule. You make the case against people picking their argument points and ignoring the facts that don't suit the narrative, but you're doing the exact same thing. Why focus on OOC schedule and not the entirety of a season? [URL='https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other']Baylor ranks 33rd in SOS.[/URL] [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings/_/sort/sosRemainingRank/order/false']Baylor ranks 5th in FPI[/URL] (which I don't even know what the hell that means but fifth seems pretty good). Anyway, my argument is not a Baylor VS Utah argument, it is more of a Big-12 VS Pac-12 argument. I feel a 1 loss Big-12 Champion would be a better representative this season than a 1 loss Pac-12 Champion. All that being said, we shouldn't be having this discussion as all of the P5 champions should have an opportunity to play for the championship. [/QUOTE]
