Looking @ the Big 12 OOC Power 5 wins, thankfully the Big Ten still counts

Looking at the Big 12's OOC games against the power 5 conferences- Aside from the Big 10, I think the conferences only win is against Tennessee
TTech- blow out loss @home to Arkanas (a team that has lost their last 16 SEC games)
Baylor- none (Northwestern State or Buffalo is their best OOC opponent)
Kansas- lost to Duke
Kansas St.- lost@home to Auburn
OU- beat Tennessee(another winless SEC school)
OK Lite- lost to Fla. State
Texas- lost to BYU & UCLA
West Virginia- lost to Bama/beat Maryland
Iowa State- beat Iowa
TCU- beat Minnesota
No way the Big 12 champion should get into the playoff over a 1 loss SEC/Pac12/ACC/Notre Dame team

Those wins aren't even good.
The ACC is 1-4 against the B1G. Of course VT beat OSU, and that's really all anyone remembers. If FSU has a loss, they should be out before a 1 loss team from any other conference. However, they are defending champs and that will probably play in whether or not it should
Edit:
I think it should be SEC/Pac 12/Big 12/B1G/ACC is they are equal losses. However, FSU is probably ahead of any B1G team with 1 loss

ACC or ND wtf? ACC is worst P5 conference by a fairly significant margin, they have 14 teams, one really good team (FSU), a solid team (Clemson) and 12 teams that are average at best or completely suck.
Half of the Big 12 is ranked in the top 25

On the flip side the Big 12 doesn't really have any embarrassing losses like the Big 10 or ACC has. Which is why they are behind the SEC/Pac-12 but ahead of the Big 10/ACC.

Unless it's Kansas State or TCU.

If K-State wins out they could have a case depending on other factors.

the ksu/auburn and wvu/alabama matchups are interesting because they are relatively rare - ooc matchups between teams at about the same position in the conference
I don't make very much of fsu beating ok state, tt vs arkansas, or tcu vs minnesota
FWiW other conferences can safely argue more than the bottom half of the SEC is really pretty terrible this year:
Florida - Several years in Boom's team fields a less potent offense than Hamilton Burger. Two close wins against Tennessee and Kentucky and a close loss against LSU leave them sitting in third place in the East. That says terrible, terrible things about five of the seven teams in the East
Tennessee - not even competitive in games against OU, Bama, and Ole Miss plus losing their game against Florida leaves them winless in SEC play, in the lesser division. They close the year against Vandy - which really could be their first SEC win of the year if you look ahead
Vandy - raise your hand if you miss Franklin, or lost to Temple, Kentucky, and Missouri
South Carolina - losses to Kentucky, Missouri and A&M look bad - even when you give them credit for beating UGA.
Kentucky - the big surprise is them beating USC, which says unexpectedly bad things about USC IMO. They play no one ooc until Louisville
Arkansas - beating Texas Tech is better than losing to them but nothing to brag about. How many years now since a win in the SEC?
Missouri - lost at home to Indiana. period, end of story.
Texas A&M - an opener against USC led to all sorts of excitement but they were absolutely humiliated against Alabama (appeared to just give up) and the result was a aggiesque blowout that probably makes certain major changes in personnel and perhaps philosophy at the end of the year. Winning two of their last three against Missouri, Auburn, and LSU seems unlikely, but that's what they'd need to accomplish to finish .500 in SEC play
