couldn't stand for others to start more threads than you in a night could you?

thanks for the work-up.
:suds:

Baylor WR smart enough to literally just fall down, and then the results would all look even.

I'm stopping here. I plan on just the Power 5.

People starting a ton of threads saying the same thing doesn't bother me anymore.

I figured everyone is debating the difficulty of the bowl schedules they have, I figured this will help. Where they fall in their own conference is by criteria, so it is all the same for every team. The odds are by SH Bookie or ESPN. And the result. Nothing on these is my own opinion.

Quite the opposite of the regular season in both regards.

B1G did have a tough OOC schedule as a whole during the season, but they just lost to most of them.

The B1G played the most OOC against P5 teams how exactly did they have an easy season?

Wait. Now that it's determined the SEC West was overrated and the PAC was by far the best skewing the point spread....SOSs need to be recalculated...right?

Man my head hurts. :gaah:

Forgot to include the NCG in remaining games, so B1G has 2 left and Pac 12 has 3 left.

Lets not get carried away with exhibition game results


The Big 10 had a horrible season OOC....and it redeemed itself to a degree in the exhibition season


But the SEC and PAC12 were by far better leagues than anyone else.


They still are even after some bowl game duds.

Correct, B1G doing better than SEC in one bowl season doesn't mean the B1G should be considered the best heading into next year's season, but I think these "exhibition" games might have more weight then the OOC during the season. Also, Ohio State vs Alabama was not an "exhibition" game.
