It gets back into rewarding the best team versus rewarding the best season. If Air Force goes 13-0, that would be a pretty amazing season, regardless of the schedule. I would guess they'd have a tough time finishing over .500 in the SEC (if that), but I'd be more likely to watch a NY6 bowl game with a 13-0, wish-bone running Air Force team play a P2/3/4/5? runner up than to see the 3rd or 4th place team from one of those conferences play in it.
