We might have more ranked teams, but the average gets murdered from having an FCS team on the record.
Sorry but I have to disagree. I think this is the biggest misconception with computers. For the most part (and this is just a general rule), the computers don't rank your "average" SOS - it is more of a cumulative SOS.
1. Playing an FCS or bad school doesn't "hurt" your rating. You wouldn't be better off in general by playing OPEN DATE. It only really hurts you in the sense that you missed an opportunity to play a good team.
2. It is the top of the schedule that matters. Crap is crap and there is little difference in playing team #80 and #120.
