You are not following the math at all. The bigger the conference goes the less the big name teams have to play. Is Bama not better off playing Texas once in four year vs every other year?

Edit

This would be a typical Bama 4 year stretch:

Year 1: LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, BYU, Kentucky, NC State, Mizzou, Vandy, Houston, UAB, Tulsa

Year 2: LSU, Texas, Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Kentucky, VA Tech, Colorado, Vandy, Houston, Jacksonville State, LA Tech

Year 3: UGA, A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, Clemson, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Kansas, Vandy, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky

Year 4: Oklahoma, FSU, Tennessee, Auburn, South Carolina, Kentucky, Miss State, Vandy, Memphis, Arkansas State, Troy

This would be a typical Ohio State 4 year stretch:

Year 1: Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, Iowa, GA Tech, Purdue, Illinois, Stanford, Indiana, Duke, Toledo, Marshall

Year 2: Michigan, Penn State, USC, Mich State, Purdue, Minn, Pitt, UNC, Indiana, Duke, Bowling Green, ODU

Year 3: Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, Washington, Purdue, UVA, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, USF, Akron, Southern Miss

Year 4: Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, Miami, UCLA, Purdue, Northwestern, Rutgers, Indiana, Kent State, James Madison

Both teams are easily getting 10 Ws and making the playoffs vs those schedules. And it is actually easier than the current schedules they play. Although I made the assumption that FCS games will eventually go away. That might not be the case. Also I made the assumption that both the B16 and SEC will require 10 power games total. If it is only 9 then you can replace those OOC ACC/B12/P10 games with G5s or FCSs.
