Merely pointing out that the alignments were never consistent, nor perfect.

And my post was supporting that, by showing all of the increments of time each conference has had.

Personally my favorite was the one season where the Big East, Big 8 and SWC all simultaneously existed. But that was far from perfect. Arkansas was already in the SEC, the Big East wasn't playing a full interlocking schedule yet, and the SWC without the Hawgs was basically a G5 Conference with a pair of P5 teams.

Yeah, those last few SWC seasons were dominated by A&M.  Those were some really good teams, but they always seemed to fall short in the bowl game.

Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff, speaking Friday ahead of the Pac-12 championship game, told members of the media he’d like to see the Big Ten alter its conference schedule to accommodate The Alliance.

Both the Big Ten and the Pac-12 play 9 league games. The ACC and SEC play 8. The number has been a particular topic of contention in the College Football Playoff era. While the Big Ten claims to give its teams a tougher schedule and therefore a better resume for the CFP committee to evaluate because of the extra game, the SEC argues that it’s simply extra exposure for a CFP-run-ending loss.

In mid-November, while Ohio State was playing a ranked Purdue squad and Michigan was playing Penn State, Alabama was hosting a 1-win New Mexico State squad in an out-of-conference snoozer.

It would seem that if the Pac-12 is going to schedule more non-conference games with its Power peers in The Alliance, Kliavkoff wants them to take the place of a conference game to keep things balanced.

Wasn't there a year when one team jumped another on the final week, even though neither team played? Or am I "misremembering" that?

That's not as bad as TCU winning 49-3 and getting passed.

Nor as bad as #3 winning its bowl when #1 and #2 lost theirs, and getting passed.

2001 Season:::

In yet another controversial season for the BCS, (AP) No. 4 Nebraska was chosen as the national title opponent despite not having even played in the Big 12 championship game. The Huskers went into their last regularly scheduled game at Colorado undefeated, but left Boulder having lost the game by a score of 62–36. The Buffaloes went on to win the Big 12 championship game. The BCS computers, among other things, didn't weigh later games any more heavily than earlier games, and one-loss Nebraska came out ahead of two-loss No. 3 Colorado and one-loss, No. 2 Oregon. Some fans chanted "number 4" at the title game held at the Rose Bowl.

To be fair, they could have been counting first half TDs scored by Miami or Nebraska turnovers or Nebraska player concussions....
