And just who had tougher schedules than us? Iowa, Minnesota, Penn St., scUM, Texas, and Northwestern are all quality teams. The bad ones were SDSU, Miami, Indiana, and Illinois. Michigan St. is a tough one because they went 5-6 but were still pretty talented. And don't give me any SEC stuff. They make eachother's records look good by playing the Citadel's of college football.

'don't give me any Big10 stuff. They make each other's records look good by playing the mac-conference and IU/Ill.' Do you buy that argument? Or do outliers not trash an otherwise strong schedule?

I can tell I'm going to take the heat off of NDC for starting this little debate.
Big-10 SOS:
#3 Michigan
#4 Ohio St.
#6 Northwestern
#13 Minnesota
#26 Penn St.
#34 Iowa
#37 Illinois
#46 Purdue
#58 Michigan St.
#61 Wisconsin
#63 Indiana
Average: 31.9 or 32
SEC SOS:
#8 Arkansas
#14 Tennessee
#15 Georgia
#24 South Carolina
#27 Florida
#30 LSU
#33 Auburn
#50 Alabama
#62 Mississippi St.
#65 Kentucky
#74 Vanderbilt
#82 Mississippi
Average: 40.3 or 40
I just want to know why strength of shedule doesn't mean anything and some of the teams that had tougher shedules than Ohio St.
