Face it, when Clemson had a bad day, they barely lost. When OSU and USC had a bad day, they imploded.
If the Big Ten only played 8 conference games like the ACC and the SEC and instead of having to play an division crossover team like Iowa and play a 2nd division opponent, then Ohio State would only have a single loss. Therefore, either force those 2 conferences to schedule 9 in conference games or disqualify any team from consideration who schedules a 2nd division patsy.
Let’s level the playing field for everyone...
