She talks about Penn St having easy schedule reason for ranking over Alabama. But she didn't say ND plays 1 team that will have a winning record next year. But she's a girl and females have terrible takes.

Don’t know why SEC plays 9 conference games when the committee doesn’t give points for strength of schedule
