You also can't pick out everyone's best OOC game and consider that the marginal game. The marginal game is a cupcake. Hell, 2 of your examples are rivalry games that are completely predetermined.

WTF are you talking about? Of course the extra game is the power team. That's why the SEC plays a ton of marquee OOC games while the Big 12 plays significantly fewer. Big 12 teams didn't drop their cupcake games when they had to go to a nine game schedule.
Your two time conference champion played Northwestern State, Buffalo, and SMU in the non-con and has agreed to future games against some school called The Incarnate Word.
Big 12 teams replaced difficult out of conference games with another game against a random Big 12 team. Big ****ing deal. The SEC cleaned up against the Big 12 this year, so don't expect me to be impressed that most teams went from three rummies and a team with a pulse in the noncon to three rummies and an extra game in the Big 12.
