Just going around the horn for some of the top teams to get a sense for relative prestige levels ...
Oklahoma (82): 79-28 overall record, 2 national championships, 1 conference championship (amusing - harder to win Big12 than the 4 game playoff?), average CPU rank 19.
Texas (84): 85-23 overall, 3 conference championships, average CPU rank 9.
Michigan (78): 73-28 overall, 1 national championship, 3 conference championships, average CPU rank 23.
LSU (84): 78-26 overall, 2 conference championships, average CPU rank 12.
Miami Hurricanes (85): 82-24 overall, 1 national championship, 0 conference championships (huh?), average CPU rank 18.
Georgia (80): 82-25 overall, 1 national championship, 5 conference championships, average rank 18.
USC (87): 92-19 overall, 1 national championship, 6 conference championships, average rank 8.
So, at a glance USC still is the toughest team in the nation after 8 seasons of work.
