Why they shouldn't let idiots grade schedule strength.

I like how he said wont prepare us for wisconsin, penn state, and michigan, ok so it wont for wisconsin but we have like 5 more big ten games before penn st and michigan, should have said wisconsin and state

Sometimes this "media is out to get us" business gets a little out of control.

They're not out to get us, they're just stupid.

How in the name of all things holy does Boise's OOC sched even compare to Fla State's??? Boise wants to be treated like one of the big boys, but they get a free pass. They're still ridin to school in the short bus, but every jackass sports writer with a pen tells 'em they're an honor roll student. What a sham.

Well the problem with these things is that they attach a number value to the letter, so when it's all averaged out you reattach the average to a letter (it's like calculating GPA or average grade). The problem, however, is that Boise State's schedule does not average out to a B+ but is more like a C.

 

How they calculated it, I have no idea. But the entire thing is purely subjective anyways. It's the writer's opinion on the talent of the team as well as what kind of competitive opportunity it gives the other. IMHO, Georgia would be a B+ or A- for Boise State.
