There are seven SEC West teams and they all went 4-0.  7 x 4 = 28.

I will grant you that the SEC West teams played a very weak OOC schedule. I've used this analogy b4.  This argument reminds me of when SU would play the sisters of the poor in hoops in December and get criticized for it and then play 12-15 solid opponents in the BE.  Who cares about OOC games early in the year if you played a very tough schedule thereafter? If you're going to play 5-6 top 30 ranked teams in the SEC then why on earth would you want to add on to that by playing a few more powerhouses? That would be suicidal. The last thing you could say about SEC West teams is that they played a weak overall schedule.

The SEC has played a weak OOC schedule in the past and yet managed to win 71% of its bowl games over the last five years. Somehow that weak OOC didn't seem to matter come late December and January.  Also didn't seem to stop four different SEC teams from winning NCs in the last decade.  This OOC argument is goofy.
