I really don't see schools refusing to schedule tough OOC if Texas is left out this year. You're not being "punished" for playing that game but it is considered that you lost that game. If you had won that game you'd be the top of the 2 loss teams and might even have been able to withstand a third loss to MSU or UK and still make the field. That's the advantage of scheduling those games, if you win, all the "tiebreakers" go your way, and in other years, I think it's going to be pretty rare that the OOC loss we're talking about for a bubble team happens to be the undefeated No. 1 team in the country, even if its tOSU, UM, or ND.
To me the bigger outrage that should be the subject of conversation is how, in the world of bloated super conferences, a team like aggy manages to play only one team in conference that finished in the top half of the standings. Like, the odds of that happening would seem low, but it happened in the second year of the expansion to 16 teams. I guess the counter is that it cost them a spot in the CCG since their in conference SOS was the tiebreaker they lost in the 4 way tie, but still, if they had even two more games against the top half of the league, they wouldn't even be in the CFP conversation. The roller coaster would have dropped in October per annual turdition.
