I would rather that the Bowl Committees pick teams based upon their records 
and difficulty of schedule --Unfortunately the mid and lower bowls dont do 
this--and it encourages  schools to have weak non conference schedules--Of course 
the committees look at fan and TV base as well to bring in revenue-

But I think there ought to be more push to have schools such as NU and any 
others  to not get rewarded for weak schedules--but so long as the overall 
record is such a key determinant, schools are incentivised to load up on weak 
opponents
