    I made it top-13 instead of top-10 cause USC is #13. should be in the top-10 next week though.

    8 PAC-12 teams in the top-13

    highest rated SOS in the ACC is Miami at #45

  • I never understood SOS.. The way they rank them always seems to be WAY off.

    8 or 9 ranked teams and our SOS wasn't in the top 10 IIRC.. Played the Pac Champion and Big East Champ on top of Bama, UGA and company.

    You don't know that for one thing

    And you obviously don't know much, when I told you preseason that USCw wasn't shit you thought I was out of my mind

    I know that for sure. Even if you beat UF, which I expect, and if Clemson beats South Carolina, SOS is going to absolutely keep you out of the mnc game. Even if you jumped to #2 in both human polls, and Oregon was #3.

    Who cares ? unlike you I don't hope for things that aren't reasonable

    I knew FSU wouldn't win a national title all preseason long, why get my hopes up now ? you know why I don't ? cause Im not a retarded homer cheese dick like you are

    FSU is shaping up a 13-1 season very nicely, and that will prove to recruits that Jimbo and his staff can get it done

    Recruiting will take the next step on that front, come into next season as the superpower they have been in the past

    You think I mad about some stupid BCS title game ? shit, I thought we would lose 3 games at least this year, Im floating on cloud 9 right now waiting for a future that will bring more happiness than I can even handle

    Good luck with Lane, cause you will need with that queen patrolling the sidelines

  • Trying to have good conversion about college football in a reasonable and logical way is nearly impossible here. But I keep trying to because it's fun, especially with how sensitive folks get about SOS.

    For example, just the mere suggestion that Oregon should fall in the rankings just like Alabama did
    since Oregon also lost at home, by fewer points, and to a higher ranked team, caused an angry mob.

    Out of the top 7 SEC teams I would think that Florida and LSU
    would have the the highest SOS among that group with Florida having the best.
    Is that correct Ruffalo? Whose or what list are you using?

    NcaaAssassinG13

  • Which SOS are you using? Hopefully, it's not the baseless one used by the NCAA (and no longer used by the BCS).

  • Ya Sagarin has Alabama's SOS at #30, and Oregon's at #36. I would say that is about right for now.
    When Oregon plays Oregon St they will pass Alabama in SOS, but then when Alabama plays Georgia
    it will probably but them slightly back ahead.

    Oregon would need UCLA to beat Stanford so they get into the CCG to finsish with a
    better SOS than Alabama.

    Alabama--------Oregon
    ===================
    @LSU-----------Stanford
    Texas A&M-----@Oregon St**
    Michigan--------USC
    Miss St----------Arizona
    @Missouri------Washington
    Ole Miss--------@ASU

    Bottom Half of Schedule
    ===================
    @Tennessee--@CAL
    @Arkansas----Fresno St
    Auburn**--------Wash St.
    W.Kentucky----Arkansas St.
    Flor Atlantic----Colorado
    W.Carolina-----Tenn Tech

    not sure if that will put Oregon with a higher overall SOS. Georgia with 2 losses, will likely remain in the top-10, and Sagarin gives a boost for playing top-10 teams.

    Both participants in the BIg-10 championship game lost to PAC-12 teams already. What u talkin about?

    PAC-12 bottom feeder took the best team in the BIg-10 to the wire. Big-10 ref's got an assist on that one as well.
