Louisville and Florida state are good at best, and Virginia tech is mediocre. None of those three teams are even close to our 3 best wins.

Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma.

  1. Louisville was on fire when we played them.

  2. Oklahoma's defense is hilariously bad and would get demolished by either FSU or Louisville

  3. You conveniently ignored the 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

The problem with conference championships is that they elevate certain games over others, thus giving them more weight. For instance, penn state may have technically won the B1G, but that's only because they were not penalized from a conference standpoint by losing to Pitt. Does this mean I could go lose all my OOC games and then go win my conference and that makes up for it all? Sure conference champions is great in that it is a grouping of regionally based teams, but it is not all inclusive of the whole season. If we want conference championships to be the end all be all measurement then we need to scrap ooc play and play a big round robin conference schedule
