Pac-12 North SOS is fine.  WE need to worry about winning our games and the conference.  If we do that, we will make the playoff; if not we won't.  Strength of schedule in the P12N is a marginal consideration.

I agree.  It's the Ws that count.

5 conferences, 4 spots. If everyone is undefeated, playoff committee will find any excuse to shut someone out. And it'll be the Pac-12 that loses out if everyone beats each other up and finishes with 3 losses.

Stanford's better off beating 1-loss teams than 3-loss teams.
