And, replace Utah's win over Baylor with a comparable OOC ACC team like Syracuse or Louisville and Kansas State's win over Arizona with a comparable ACC team like Stanford or Wake Forest and the Big 12 is in a better position in relation to the ACC and beauty pageant perceptions...I mean, the CFP rankings.
