So when you look at Minnesota almost beating Michigan, almost beating Iowa, and hanging with Ohio State for most of the game, does that change your perception of TCU beating them with multiple starters out and it mostly being a two-possession game until a garbage-time TD?
I love TCU, but again, perception. I thought the Minnesota win was a good one, yet TCU dropped a spot in the polls the next week. And they kept dropping because of tight games, even though they were winning. I didn't necessarily agree with that, particularly when Baylor was getting hyped for blowing out nobodies.
I mentioned the Minnesota wins not as a slight to TCU, but as an indictment on the rest of the conference favorites. Like I said, I thought Minnesota was a good win, but it's still fricking Minnesota. OU can highlight the Tennessee win this year, but wtf can Okie State and Baylor point to to bolster their resume?

Can every team in every conference point to a marquee out of conference win? In my experience, no there's usually one or two that do and whether those are the teams that are playing for the conference championship or not, those wins legitimize the conference by either the direct win or by the oh-so-popular reflexive win property of football. It happens literally every season.

Oklahoma State had Clemson scheduled for the non-conference this season. But when Notre Dame made their special deal with the ACC Clemson backed out so that ND would fit on their schedule. That's why we got stuck with Central Arkansas. OSU has made an effort to schedule at least 1 Power 5 opponent every year for the past decade and we've got Boise State, Pittsburgh, and Oregon State in the next 6 years. Those teams aren't great now, but Boise was scheduled when they were rolling and the other 2 schools have been solid bowl teams in the past. That's miles better than Baylor's schedule.
