SOS is not politically correct. SOS is biased against schools that play in weak conferences. It's not their fault they don't pay in the SEC.

I can tell you exactly why! USCw is a media darling. The computers put Oklahoma head of them. People got in an uproar (despite the fact that the computers had it right) and therefore after LSU beat Oklahoma the people in power went back and "fixed" the system. In reality they broke it. They took the computers and cut their power in half.

Now a bunch of people even here will tell you that USCw should have been in the championship game that year... but they are wrong and just as biased as the people that changed the system.

Based on SOS calculations, Louisville and La Tech, both 9-1 are tougher opponents than 8-2 LSU and 8-2 USCe.

SEC fans are constantly wanting to shift the argument to whatever favors the SEC.
