I’ve seen a lot of SEC fans on social media saying things like “the committee is telling us that SOS doesn’t matter, we need to stop scheduling hard games out of conference”. Those three teams were Florida (Florida State, Miami, UCF), Georgia (Clemson and GT), and LSU (USC and UCLA). All other teams played 25% of their schedule against G5 and FCS teams, so I’m not really understanding the complaining from some people when the Big Ten and Big 12 play 9 conference teams + likely playing a 10th P4 team, whereas the SEC are scheduling Mercer and New Mexico State in November.
For comparison, the only Big Ten teams to play 9 P4 teams were Indiana and Ohio State, every Big 12 team played 10+ P4 teams, and 6 ACC teams played 9 or less, as well as Notre Dame.
I’m including Oregon State and Washington State as P4 teams in this as well.
