College Football Conference Championship Week Thread

I agree that SEC teams should generally schedule better out of conference, but in this case scheduling didn't make much of a difference.

Here's Ohio State's three nonconference games (they play a 9-game conference slate):

-- Oregon State (one of the worst P5 teams in the country)
-- TCU (credit for scheduling a big game, but TCU went 6-6)
-- Tulane (G5 team)

Now here's Oklahoma's; they also play a 9-game stretch in the Big 12:

-- FAU (G5)
-- UCLA (went 3-9)
-- Army (credit where credit's due to the 9-2 Black Knights. I've got them at #10 in my Super Sixteen, BUT: this was clearly meant to be a squash for Oklahoma -- and they needed overtime to win!)

So throwing out UGA's FCS win over Austin Peay altogether, I don't see how the other three FBS games (Tech, UMass, and MidTenn State) are any worse than what Georgia's "peers" at this point played out of conference. There's the separate issue of scheduling the FCS game where both the Buckeyes and the Sooners played in conference. But honestly: is there any team in the SEC, even Arkansas, as bad as Rutgers (whom OSU beat in week two) or KU (whom Oklahoma beat two weeks ago)? That's debatable. Innit?

I've made my feelings known earlier in the thread, but I thought this was worth some discussion. Cheers.

ETA: what say you, poelzig ?
