I was curious as to the scheduling of each of the P5 conferences. So, I took a look at each of the schools and how many each of the P5 conferences schedule other P5 conference schools.

Conference (# Non-Con Games/School): Total P5 Non-Con Games (% Non-Con Games vs. P5)
Big 12 (3 each): 9 total vs. P5 schools (30% of Non-Con games vs. P5 opponent)
B1G (3 each): 12 total vs. P5 schools (28.6% vs. P5 opponent)
SEC (4 each): 14 total vs. P5 schools (25% vs. P5 opponent)
Pac-12 (3 each): 12 total vs. P5 schools (33.3% vs. P5 opponent)
ACC (4 each): 19 total vs. P5 schools (33.9% vs. P5 opponent)

ACC: 33.9%
Pac-12: 33.3%
Big 12: 30%
B1G: 28.6%
SEC: 25%

ACC has the highest percentage of non-conference games played against P5 conference schools. This number is somewhat skewed with the 6 mandatory games vs. Notre Dame.
The "almighty" SEC has the lowest percentage of non-conference games scheduled against P5 schools. Additionally, most of the SEC schools schedule a non-con game late in the season (Week 10 or later).
I also found it interesting that both the Pac-12 and B1G had a total of 12 non-con games vs. P5 conference teams, despite the fact that the B1G has more schools (14 to 12).

Edit: B1G only plays 3 non-con games. My math was right, just accidentally wrote 4.
