superiority on the field this year (because they just went conference only), so this computer poll is not going to assume they are better.
Big 12 teams had one out-of-conference game, but had a bunch of losses to Sun-Belt teams. So this computer poll thinks the Sun-Belt is better than the Big 12. Isn't that the point of a season, to prove on the field who is better instead of voting on it? To vote on a champ is like ice-skating.
ACC has one out-of-conference game and mostly played FCS teams, so they did not get much boost from their out-of-conference schedule.
