Why? Because there will be a ton of shitty 8-4 teams
and the ones who actually played an ND when their conference didn't force it upon them are going to look better than the fucking cowards who played Kennesaw, Indiana State and Easternwestern Southnorth A&M.
The benefit of weak scheduling only holds water when your record clearly separates you from the pack. The deeper we get into the chute with 3-and 4-loss CFP candidates, the more that SOS will come into play as a differentiator.
