Strength of Schedule

[SoCalhusker88]

Just saw this and found it surprising and interesting. Didn't realize the schedule we have played so far was ranked so high, especially with both Mich, Iowa, and Penn St still on the schedule.

I'm not sure, but I'll bet that #7 is an estimate of what our SOS will be for the whole year. I think our SOS of the games played is a bit lower. Anderson-Hester (one of the computer pgms used in the BCS calculation) has us pegged at #49 right now. LINK But we will soar this coming month.

Washington and Wyoming are helping us out a bit I think. Both only have 2 losses thus far.

Maybe they accidentally swapped Carolina and Nebraska?

How can South Carolina have that low of a strength of schedule if it would count the whole year? The SEC schedule alone has to be top 20 no matter what team you are

This calculates by whole schedule. Updated weekly.

Nebraska is at 35 right now.

Interestingly enough, Big12 holds the top 9 spots.

While the predominate thinking is that the SEC is tough top-to-bottom, the computers might not agree. Other than Bama and LSU, the SEC is not very impressive. I think Arky and USCe are both way overrated simply because they're in the SEC.

SEC teams still have Clemson, Georgia Tech and Florida State out of conference to come.

They have already beaten Oregon, West Virginia and Penn State.

What is the best OoC win the B1G has?

Michigan beat Notre Dame and we beat Washington... any others?

We will get two SEC East teams in the Citrus and Outback, probably South Carolina and Georgia.

Let's hope that Ohio State doesn't draw Carolina... that doesn't usually end will for the Bucknuts.
