What are you talking about? If one team is better than the other, then a victory over the better team is going to less likely. That's grade school probability.
Look at Lakers or the 6ers.. the Lakers have a better win % but are they a tougher opponent than the 6ers? Not necessarily. Just bc a team has a better win % doesn't mean that they are more difficult to win against. Grade school common sense IMO. A tougher SOS doesn't automatically mean tougher games to win, especially a SOS based off less than 1/4 of the season.
