League swaps: How would the Pac-12's best do in other conferences?

Schedule strength is a key piece of the selection committee's criteria for inclusion in the College Football Playoff.

But how much of a difference is there in strength of schedule among the best teams in the best conferences?

Plenty, as it turns out. For fun, we dropped the Pac-12's best teams into each of the other Power 5 leagues to see how Oregon, Stanford, Washington, UCLA and USC would fare.

The result? Pac-12 teams would do just fine -- except if placed in the SEC.
