BYU has played SMU and K-st??

SMU has played BYU and Pitt?

I'd wonder about BYU at 53

I wonder how Tenn is 17 and Texas is 38, but whatever.  Tenn played Bama, both played UGA.

I always ponder why the top teams really only have 1 or 2 really big games in a season, sometimes 3 or 4.
A small, but non-zero part of it is that a top team doesn't play itself.

Oh, I don't know about that.  A&M has beat itself many, many times over the years.

"We" pick on Team X often for "not playing anybody", which is OK I guess, but a lot of Team Xs are in the same situation.  And then the one apparently good team they played "hasn't played anybody" either.  A lot of good teams have a one or two game schedule, if they can avoid major upsets.

more common today with oversized conferences and the watering down of the Big 12

Might I suggest that instead of engaging in histrionics and proclaiming the system as broken, or impossible, while there are still 2 regular season games plus CCGs left for many of the top CFP contenders, we just... I don't know... wait and see what happens?

Heaven forbid we act rationally and wait for all data to be available before performing an analysis.

We're "fans", and a bit fanatical about it all...

back in the 80's and 90's, I was a little more concerned my team might get screwed.
I have it easy these daze - no worries

How many "real games" do you think your team plays this season (regular)?

You might include those road games that are tougher than the opponent would be alone, like going to Vandy....

11. The only one that isn't a 'real game' for us is the FCS team.

I was assured that the SEC is a "meat grinder" and that even the lowliest SEC teams are capable of tearing out your spleen with a flick of the wrist.

So, we have 8 "real games" this year.

Well, we played 1 non P4 team this year.  Even with FSU's drop to being a deaf & blind HS team, the Gators face the current #3, 8,9,10,11, and 15th-ranked teams.

I'd say we earned whatever we get this year. 
IU MIGHT not be 10-0 against such a schedule.
