Replace Ohio state with Idaho

Replace Houston with Portland st

Oklahoma undefeated and in.

With only 4 spots and teams with cupcake OOC it's a shortcut to the path and an AD who wants to play real football in September aren't helping their teams reach the ultimate goal.

Because you'll get penalized for not playing an OOC P5

TBF, when they scheduled UH they probably weren't expecting them to be this good.

Oklahoma's defense cost them a playoff spot, and losing to Houston and Ohio St.

It would depend on the year and who they were tied with...

This year, yes. Another year, maybe not.

With that non-conference schedule, Oklahoma wouldn't have jumped any of the one-loss teams no matter what they did. The Big 12 is equivalent to the old Big East after Miami and Virginia Tech left. It's a wretched football conference.

A cupcake OOC give you a very thin margin of error for the rest of the season. But the 10 conference games to end the season have a much bigger impact than the 3 OOC games to start the season.

Your team wouldn't have gotten in the playoff if they played cupcake OOC teams, so it goes both ways.

I feel like you, out of all people should realize that.

Houston did not win their conference

face it, Okies were not good enough this season.

what you are really saying is to be able to have benefit of rescheduling after the season.

you see, if teams being considered with Okies, LIKE Michigan, have a stronger OOC win than portland state, LIKE south division Pac12 champ Colorado, then the Okies would have been left out anyway.

there is a thread on the actual top 6. Michigan is 6. not Okies
Mich has a strong P5 OOC win over Colorado.
