I am not sure about raising the strength of schedule aspect, until our league can actually perform better in the post-season, our increased in-league scheduling is not going to achieve that.

“Changing to a 20-game Conference schedule will improve the strength of schedule for all 12 teams and that’s very important for the overall success of the league,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said in a release.
Not if the Pac-12 teams don't improve it won't. Actually it will be interesting to see if the ACC, Big 12 and SEC follow suit (Big 10 already has 20 conf. games).

The RPI of two more conference opponents will almost certainly be higher than the two OOC games they will replace, for almost every conference team. Every team's OOC always has two throwaway games.
The Big 12 only has 10 teams, so unless it wants to have teams playing two opponents three times in a season it can't go to more than 18 league games.

So this allows for a balanced conference schedule, correct? Or would that be 22 games?
I like it. Should make for a more legitimate regular season champ.

Last year, Oregon State's non-conference opponents were:
Team NET UC Riverside 314 Wyoming 321 Old Dominion 100 Missouri 77 Penn 110 Long Beach State 234 Missouri State 162 Saint Louis 103 Texas A&M 84 Pepperdine 166 Kent State 134 Central Connecticut 312
Mean: 176.4 Median: 164.0
With two more games, Oregon State would have played two of:
California 229 Colorado 66 Stanford 108 Utah 105
Mean: 127.0 Median: 106.5
This is great for a team like Oregon State, which has difficulties scheduling non-conference opponents.

I don't see this as a positive for coach Twinkles (not a sp error).... If he is still here for 2020-21 season.

And others will only be happy, when Barnes hires Kevin Stallings to coach Oregon State and turns a 10-8 team into an 0-20 team. Blind hope and reality are two different things.

Do you know who Barnes has hired here? Look it up... Remind me. Come on you're the "researcher" of random facts/s stats to support your views. I'm betting Stallings isn't one of them. PS- although his Pitt stint didn't go well his hiring was a no brainer. He was successful everywhere else. SEC doormat Vandy was pretty good... 332-220 and 12 postseasons in 17 years. Hmmmm... betting OSU fan would love that type of hire.
