I'm not clinging to anything ... you do realize that many scheduling agreements are done years in advance right?  When Alabama scheduled teams like Va Tech, WVU, PSU or Michigan its assumed they will be good simply because of name but how did that all work out?  You CANNOT have a good system where you are trying to evaluate 120 teams against each other without some form of a measuring stick.

Adding that extra game for TCU wouldn't have made enough of a difference in the rankings their SOS wouldn't have been high enough to move them ahead of OSU, Bama or FSU ... hmmm how do they determine SOS again?  It was explicitly stated that SOS is a strong criteria in considering candidates .. how is that done again?  The system isn't perfect and I don't like the way it is now .. nor am I advocating it stays that way .. but your myopic view of these things not having any impact is silly at best.

Its the same thing as all the Rutgers crap ... we bash their schedule (deservedly so) and then they puff out their chests because they play big bad Arkansas of the SEC .. turns out Arkansas nose dives and has god awful seasons the years they play RU ... but when the game was originally scheduled it was a big deal to RU.  And if you wish to ignore previous seasons than all schools should be treated as equals and not one single win should carry more weight than any other since we can just casually throw everything prior to the season out the window right?  That means a win over lets say Wake Forest is equal to a win over Alabama ... are you friggin kidding me?
