I have no idea, I just googled NCAA football SOS and ESPN was the first link that had up to date SOS listed. I tried several other links and they were all pre season, rather than current.

I figured SOS formulas would be standardized, but I guess not.

Sagarin has: SOS

Of the contenders:

Wisky - 61
Bama - 54
Georgia - 48
Ohio State - 42
Miami - 40
Oklahoma - 36
Auburn - 15
Clemson - 11

You know it's a total crap year in the SEC when Bama and Wisky's schedule are in a dog-fight for the worst.

Yeah, and honestly, nothing we have really matters because the committee uses data from a private company that isn't available to the public.

Honestly, I'd bet their FPI rankings factor in. They've been trying to push that trash for years.

Are you sure?

Because their Protocol says: "any polls taken into consideration must be completely open and transparent to the public."

I would say Computer Polls and SOS data are "Polls" under that definition.

If it’s Bama vs OSU, will they discuss the half a Hyundai?

Everyone knows that this FSU team was an 8-4 or 9-3 team with Francois

Bama was really unlucky with their schedule. Their cross-division opponents won a combined 1 conference game and their big OOC oppenent just fell apart.

I mean, if UT and FSU were just 8-4 this year, Bama's schedule would look a ton better.

SOS isn't a poll.

Understanding that would cause these guys to use critical thinking skills. Barely use them, but still, use them to some degree.

I just hope FSU wins this week so we can add another bowl team to the resume. We need to catch up with all them awesome bowl wins Clemson has.

Someone else did the same thing recently. Came in hot and dominated the board for couple days. I'm drawing a blank.
