But that "extra" game should make the total 12, not 13

Stopping the "13th data point" argument.

Sure, but OP was talking about 12 FBS games

Not 13 "data points"
Sorry for any confusion.

It was simply about one-loss conference champions from that list that would have the same number of FBS wins as Notre Dame. A two-loss Alabama team would also have fewer FBS wins than an 11-1 Notre Dame team. That still leaves SOS analysis.

Obviously, we have many victories over mediocre teams and very few over top 25 teams, so I think our SOS will still sink us when people do comparisons, but I do wonder (honestly) if the Big 12 is overrated. The committee seems to have pre-ordained that a one-loss Big 12 champion automatically gets in.
