Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that they were using it as a way to schedule their way to an NC. Simply that clearly if SEC teams cared about the validity of the SEC champ, they wouldn't play only 6 of 9 SEC opponents, while playing 5 OOC games. Likewise, if Big Ten teams cared about the MNC, they wouldn't schedule a full round robin, plus 2 other BCS conference OOC games
I think as much as that debate has raged here, both conferences come by it honestly
