I just want to ensure schools with difficult schedules are heavily rewarded. I'd rather a team play 8 top 25 teams have a loss than a team that only played 1 or 2 top 25 teams and go undefeated.


I kige this.

That's why the BCS used to have a quality win bonus. It's better to beat #1,2,3,4,5,6,115,116,117,118,119, and 120 than it is to beat #55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65, and 66.

But they ditched that because their precious little media darling got punished for a weak schedule.

All the computers have SOS factored in; the BCS's independent SOS factor arguably gave too much weight to it. SOS wasn't eliminated--it's just been left to the computers. I'm fine with that.
