7. Bowl season and non-conference schedules are my 2 favorite times of the season

Too often these teams don’t play each other but they give 2 conferences much more respect than the others. If it was based on conference play only no one would probably expect Oregon to beat Ohio State on the road and the Ducks would probably lose if they played again — Utah is a much better team. Ducks were handled by Oklahoma so obviously they aren’t a top 15 team.
