I'll attempt to explain this, and while it may make sense after to you, there will still surely be people on this board who don't get it. Here goes:

Strength of Schedule is not as simple as "this is who we played". We played Oregon, but OUR strenght of schedule also factors in who else Oregon has played. And who else those teams that Oregan has played, have played.

So this early in the season, while Boise may have played a bunch of teams we view as cupcakes, those cupcake teams have played BCS teams as those BCS teams cupcake games. As the season wears on, and the Idaho's of the world begin to play their shitty conference opponents, and the Oregon's and West Virginia's get into their conference games, all of the matrix polls begin to sort themselves out once teams get into conference play, because teams are then playing similiar competition.

I know this was a shitty attempt at an explanation, but hopefully it is enough to at least get the point across. By week 8, if LSU is still undefeated, our SOS and computer rankings will be between 1 and 7, and of course the lowest gets dropped. Alabama and LSU will be heavy at 1-2 in ALL computer polls by the time the matter.
