Yes, and I seem to remeber a year where Georgia had a very soft conference six (skipped Alabama & LSU that year; funny they usually seem to give Alabama a miss...), finished 5-1 in those six, 0-5 in the other five, and almost made the Sugar Bowl. There are conferences who play each other, maybe giving one team a miss a year, and not the same team each year! Look at the Big 10 (8 of 9), Pac 10 (ditto), SWC (all 8), WAC (all 8!), Big 8 (all 7), ACC (all 7; when Georgia Tech is fully integrated), etc. All certainly better than 6 of 9 conference opponents! -- James C.
