Oklahoma Sooners
It's funny watching fans of teams that think strength of schedule is somehow important.
Has most of the P5 hardest schedules so obviously we have quality teams. Auburn has one natty this decade and lost in the last 3 seconds in another. Try to keep up.And, the SEC?
over rated as usual. The east is a dumpster fire until it proves otherwise and the west is ... well ... Bama.And, the SEC?

At least there basketball team redeems them. Oh wait it took half way through the fourth year for them to surpass the football team in conference wins.
It forces the NY/NJ markets to make the Big Ten Network an in market channel instead of an out of market channel and more than doubles the revenue for every cable package. It also gave them a huge bargaining chip when shopping the TV rights and tripled their deal with the last negotiation. No clue what Maryland brought to the table.So what was the main reason of inviting them? TV market? Academics? Something has to give.
