re: Does this year diminish good OOC games?

Ohio State wouldn't have made it without their OOC.

I agree the OOC made it. But that was because the conference is already considered tough as well.

However, Washington shows that a weak SOS and OOC can get you in also.

I am sure Oklahoma fans are thinking about that. And non-big name teams in the BIG are thinking the same.

Again, I think there is an argument to put Penn State in, but just as strong, if not stronger for Ohio State. I could have lived with either choice.

I think more about what this means long term. Big name programs in some conference are encouraged to play tough OOC to get in. Weaker teams in weaker conferences just need to schedule OOC cupcakes and sweep their conference.
