"If the playoff committee is serious about random strength-of-schedule rankings providing validation to getting a playoff berth, even a 12-0 BYU team is not getting a berth. Their schedules are just far too easy. However, unlike any other mid-major talented team, they can control their scheduling. They can simply look to Notre Dame to see what an independent schedule looks like that will warrant attention from the playoff committee. Anything less than eight Power 5 conference teams on their schedule is not enough and they will still be lacking a 13th game."

He says this as though getting 8-9 P5's on a schedule is simply a matter of choosing to do so.

However, the SOS argument he makes relative to the CFP is spot on. I have been making this argument for weeks and many here on CB just don't want to hear it.

"Sky is falling", they say in mock protest.

"Burying your head in the sand", I say.
