At this point, all I care about is making the playoff. I want to make sure we schedule strategically enough where if we go 10-2, our SOS is strong enough that we can make the field. Resumes are put under the microscope with SOS, SOR, Top 25 wins, etc. So in that sense, all wins are absolutely not all created equal.

And from a purely emotional standpoint, we still reminisce on this board decades later about the legendary near misses like 92 Miami and 98 Tennessee or 99 Michigan. And even though the 1984 season overall was a dud, that Nebraska game lives on forever. That's part of what makes college football so great. Regular season games aren't just a "going through the motions" to get to the playoffs like say baseball is. They mean something by themselves.

I've always been a fan of the 1-2-1 non-conference scheduling format. One blockbuster game to fill the Dome and get the pulse up, two manageable mid-major opponents, and one FCS to work the kinks out.
