If they're still upset about Bama getting selected in 2017 over ohio state, fine (even if they just sound whiny now). But if they're upset about last season, who do they think should've been left out? CFP committee gets it right more often than not.
But I don't dislike the proposal of all power 5 teams have to play 10 power 5 games.

I say it depends. I kinda disagree. I just see it as a mechanism to box out other smaller/rising schools. Kinda like how they tried to box out a lot of southern schools back in the day. Forcing the B10 to play more "local" non-power teams might be better because I am willing to say there are a lot of non-power 5 teams that will whoop Murryland, Rutgers, Indiana, etc. Truth be told, I bet they are still gunshy about AppState.
The B10 thumbs its nose against the Troys, Citadels, BSU, and even UCFs but heck, they could whoop a lot of the P5 (or have).

Whining Little 10 is called "Whittle10"
I got an idea -
Don't have your "Champion" NOT get blown out 49-20 by a 6-7 Purdue team, "escape" a comically bad Murryland team, and have a 55-24 loss to a 8-5 Iowa team the year before. And then do not have you champions blown out in the CFP the prior years by a combined 69-0. Also, you non-conference scheduling is very, very poor. Us scheduling Troy is a better opponent that about 1/2 of the B10. Come on, how do you only score 16 points against a B12 team. They spot anyone 30 points at the coinflip.
UCF has had a better claim to the CFP selection than the B10 has in the past two seasons.
Ironically, any one of OSU's conference loses in the past 2 years have been by a great margin (29 & 31 points) that the combined total of Clemson last four losses (26 points combined).

The B-12 went to 9 conference games because that's all the teams they had.
The B-10 did it by choice.
Either way, it was both of their choice so they could avoid paying for OOC games and leave the money in conference. This was a way to "beef up" their schedule. It was a way to save money. Suck it up.

A lot of ACC team do play 10 P5 opponents, a few don't but at least they play decent Group of 5 teams. USF, UCF etc so they are at least giving non-power teams a shot which I am ok with.
Here, excluding two pay-for-play schools
Clemson did (A&M and Coots. Are the coots really P5, meh, P5 does not mean you are any good aint that right Rutgers?)
Syracuse didn't (UCONN & ND) FSU did (ND & UF) BC no - Purdue & Temple Miami didn't LSU and FIU UNC Didn't Cal & UCF but considering the played UCF, lets give them a pass GT didn't USF & Jawja UVA didn't indiana & Ohio Duke did 3 IMO Army, NW, Baylor (I count the service academies) Pitt did ND, PSU, and even UCF VT nope, only ND but they did lose to ODU UofL did Bama and UK NC State didnt anything, but the WVU game was cancelled, next best OOC was likely James Madison or ECU Wake didnt, ND, Tulane and Rice but that is ok for wake's standards

if you want your conference champion in the CFP discussion, encourage them not to get embarrassed against really bad teams like Purdue and Maryland.
