They had a winning record vs the Big 12 and BIG. Though just 3-2 vs both.
SMU was 1-1(L to us, W over TCU)
PITT was 2-0(W over WV/Cinci)
Stanford was 0-1(L to TCU)
I think they should require each P4 Team to play an OOC game against 1 school from every other P4 conference. Just do away with non FBS games(or just count them as exhibition). Maybe you just have to play 2 of the other 3 conferences to make room for 1 G5 game, but you have to rotate which conferences you play.
So 12 game schedule(9 conference, 2 P4 OOC, 1 G5 OOC)
