How about on the flip side?

Did OSU and Oklahoma gain anything by beating Texas and Michigan in the beginning of the season?

Or would they be in the exact same boat, had they beaten North Texas and Central Michigan?

I'd say Oklahoma might have benefited. The only conference team that they beat who actually had a winning conference record was Alabama (7-1). They lost to Ole Miss (7-1) and Texas (6-2), and beat teams who were 4-4, 4-4, 3-5, 1-7, and 1-7.

If they'd scheduled a patsy, 9-3 Texas into the CFP over 10-2 Oklahoma would be VERY easy to justify, with a H2H game where Texas beat them by 17. With them getting a decent OOC win, they have a resume worth actually having the discussion. Texas still has 3 marquee wins, but one bad loss (Florida). Oklahoma has two marquee wins, and zero bad losses.

OSU at 12-0 would be fine either way. As Fearless says maybe they'd be sitting at #2 instead of #1, but they could easily jump right to #1 this coming Saturday.

So, sorta?

These big marquis ooc used to be the only way you could play any of these teams outside of a bowl game. Now USC, Oregon and UDub are in the conference, so you don't have to schedule any of them ooc in order to play them. Then if you run through the playoffs, you play up to four big marquis games in a month, to finish the season.

I'm not really sure that they are all that necessary anymore.

What was the Big Ten's channel for the worse conference game? For the SEC, it was Jefferson Pilot. I can't remember what it was before that. It's where Kentucky would play Miss State. Pre-streaming services.

Anyway, that's what the ACCCG reminds me of - one of those games.

Ours was Raycom I believe. Before JP.
