LSU has had the second toughest from 2003-2010. The toughest? Arkansas - little surprise there. After all, Arky has to play LSU every year.
I'm not disputing your link or the conclusion they draw - since they are perfectly legitimate IMO
But SOS can be calculated in wildly different ways depending on who is doing the numbers. And in some ways that can make sense - because how difficult a schedule is for a team is highly dependent upon how good the team in question is
That is, a hard schedule for a great team requires other great teams on the schedule... a hard schedule for a bad team just requires you play a lot of average or above average teams

Here's the NCAA schedule stats:
NCAA Toughest schedule
I think "Sorted on Cumulative Opposition" makes the most sense.

Agreed - it is easy to play the numbers. My issue with the NCAA numbers is that it appears to be completely based upon the win-loss record of the opponent. This is certainly a valid way to sort the numbers, but other factors (such as a BCS ranking, whether the game is a home or away game, etc.) are relevant too.
I really like to look at the numbers. Thanks for posting the NCAA numbers - very interesting.
This seems to explain the basics of how the numbers that I posted were calculated: LINK /
