Are you surprised the teams with the best records played weak schedules?

Yes. Most years, the top teams have faced more challenging opponents. Last year, we pasted a solid Michigan team and ND had knocked off Stanford. 2011 LSU had one of the toughest schedules in history and we beat a solid Penn State team.

This year is an aberration. Schedules are only part of the equation.
