Of that Top 10 undefeated list, it's only possible for 5 teams to go undefeated; Clemson, LSU, a B1G, a Big 12, and an AAC team.  But, I still don't think the Big 12 would deserve a team in, unless that team is Oklahoma or TCU, because OU and TCU are the only contending teams in the Big 12 who bothered to schedule a Power 5 OOC opponent.

OOC for

Baylor: SMU, Lamar, Rice
TCU: Minnesota, Stephen F. Austin, SMU
Okie State:  Central Michigan, Central Arkansas, UTSA
Oklahoma: Akron, Tennessee, Tulsa,

Only TCU and Oklahoma even played a Power 5 OOC opponent. 

You're completely ignoring the fact that they play power 5 opponents in conference.  Thus, you have to at least put them in the same bracket as the SEC, who play one less power 5 oppenent in conference than the Big 12 does.

Thus Baylor and LSU, A&M and Alabama play the same number of power 5 teams.  LSU bravely scheduled Syracuse.

I think the Pac12 homerism makes sense, but your Big12 OOC argument gives some other conferences, especially the SEC with their mostly at home schedules, a free pass.
