Comparing just OOC records amongst the P4 is a terrible way to assess conference relative strength.  Its the metric that people will go to when trying to fabricate a narrative that doesn't align with reality - then hope your crap teams beat their crap teams to overcome the lack of strength at the top of your conference.

How Sagarin ranked conferences this year was SEC-----big drop----Big 12, Big 10-----big drop-----ACC.  If any conference has reason to complain they are undervalued, its the Big 12.  I don't think the Big 10 is overrated - four teams are in Sagarin's top 11.  The problem is the bottom of the conference is hot garbage and drags them way down.  That impacted their OOC since the garbage teams all lost...I don't see how Purdue losing to Oregon St and UCLA losing to LSU tells us anything about how good Penn State, Ohio State, Oregon and Indiana are.

ACC was not great this year - it needs to get much better to be viewed as a true peer power conference to the other three.  Right now the ACC is where the old Big East was- at the table due to history and politics, not due to on the field performance.
