It really never works that way, scheduling is really what it is all about. From 1981-85 I picked the National Champion base on the schedules to be played.
It is harder today to do that, as when they added the 12th game many teams use that to pick up a mid to higher level opponent to make more money.
10 wins in 1980 didn't mean elite, just as it does not today. Was Clemson or BYU really the best team in the land at that time?
Very doubtful.
Notice you see teams like Bama mostly scheduling the cream buffs and it has not hurt them in any way. And Bama's schedule has a lot to do with getting to 10 wins 3 times since 2000, playing a harder schedule they will likely not see 10 wins.
