[QUOTE="iFlyBy, post: 1569074, member: 747209"] How in the world do they come at the expense of the other 13? The other 13 matter a lot. Each conference loss by a contender opens the door for other teams to make a run at a conference championship. A tougher out-of-conference schedule no longer punishes you since it's the conference championship that gets you in the playoffs now. However, you're rewarded for playing those tough games with higher seeding should you make the playoffs and win those games. Basketball has a similar approach, and the regular season games still matter on the whole. Of course there will be situations where some games don't matter in terms of postseason appearances, but that's true in every sport at every level, including the current college football situation.
