In college football, should a team be punished for playing a demanding schedule? ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit says absolutely not. The longtime analyst issued an urgent plea to the sport of college football: stop judging teams only by wins and losses, and start valuing strength of schedule, before the committee repeats the same mistake it made with Texas this season.

“The Texas team we see now looks like a legitimate team,” Joey Galloway said on the Nonstop podcast .

Herbstreit immediately jumped in: “When you say now, that’s two weeks, Arkansas and Texas A&M, they got beat 35 to 10 three weeks ago at Georgia.

That has to be forgotten by Ohio State, which helped them win that 14-game streak. That’s the closest game Ohio State’s had all year. I think their stock went up by that game.”
