Big Question About Conference Scheduling

GT and UGA WRs Performing Well
Right now, AJ Green is rated the #8 WR and Bebe Thomas is rated the #5 WR, in all of college football.

Both are in the top 10 finalists for the Biletnikoff Award.
Congrats to these players and UGA and GT.

SEC and ACC in the Top 25 – Strength of Schedule
Both conferences have 3 teams in the top 25. Because Clemson choose to play #6 TCU, out of conference, and lost 10-14, they are not rated in the top 25 with 3 losses. Please note: the SEC has all 3 of their top 25 teams in the top 10 but LSU and Alabama play this Sat.! Because Virginia Tech choose to play Nebraska and Alabama, out of conference, they have 1 additional loss as well and are only ranked like #23. Clemson will also play USCe out of conference. Meanwhile, Alabama, Florida, and LSU only play one BCS+ game out of conference all season. Boston College has played #22 Notre Dame and the #1 team from the MAC (Cent. Mich), out of conference. UGA is the lone team in the SEC willing to play more than one game out of conference and they are currently 4-4. And of course GT plays 3, out of conference, BCS+ games in addition to their treacherous ACC schedule.

Big Question
Should the ACC teams change their schedules to only play one out of conference BCS+ games to be like most of the SEC teams or should the SEC teams play 2 out of conference BCS+ games to be like the ACC? Right now, it like trying to compare apples to turnips.
