Pitt #18

I can't criticize Oregon's OOC, playing OSU and Boise. Even PSU played WVU which is a legit opponent and gives them 10 P4 games. The issue with PSU is they got a cake B10 schedule, but they still played 10 P4 teams.

Now Indiana and Ohio St deserve criticism for weak OOC. And I would hope in this committee era that would come into play to break ties, just like it does in hoops when you play soft OOC. For instance, an 11-1 Pitt should get in over an 11-1 Indiana if that's how it ends up.

I'd have a tough time rewarding Penn State for scheduling WVU over a G5 team Ohio State played when Ohio State might end up playing 3, or even 4, games against playoff teams to Penn State's 1. Just like in basketball, overall strength of schedule is all that should matter, in my opinion.
