Schools had stronger SOS than ND this year....so they must being doing something right. We played Michigan and then you saw what that crappy team from the SEC did to them....
I think they finished the year with 6-7 teams in the Top 25
At least you acknowledged they were still the best conference
It's funny how everyone bad mouths the Big Ten, the schedule OSU plays, that Michigan plays, and then you conveniently forget that.
Clemson's opponent in their ACC championship game was Pitt with a 6-6 record. Tough conference.
