Up til yesterday, Bama had the stronger SOS. Lsu now does.

2 LSU 11 ranked sos Computer rankig 2

I don't trust any computer system's ranking of schedule strength. When Colley matrix has Texas' schedule to date ranked 4th in the nation and LSU's ranked 56th, Sagarin a couple of years ago ranked the entire Pac 10 #1 through #10 in schedule strength for the season, and most of them use a formula that rates two 5-5 teams as equal to a 10-0 team and a 0-10 team, you cannot trust any computer schedule strength formula.

Someone is really asking this?

Both teams play Florida in 2011

Both teams play Arkansas

Both teams play Ole Miss

Both teams play Auburn

Both teams play Mississippi State

Both teams play Tennessee in 2011

We don't know yet if Vanderbilt or Kentucky is better

Both teams play FCS schools

Both teams play lousy mid majors (Kent, Western Kentucky). However, both play Sun Belt schools, while only Alabama plays a MAC school as well.

LSU played Oregon in its opener

LSU played at West Virgnia

Until Penn State gets a quality win, they are weaker than West Virginia. North Texas isn't even close to Oregon.
