Teams that are negatively impacting your strength of schedule

Rankings change from week to week. When the preseason rankings are posted, you get a pretty good idea of who the tougher teams on your schedule are going to be. Those tough games are necessary for MOST teams who are going to need quality wins to have a shot to move into the playoff hunt.
However, after a few weeks, some teams you were hoping would be ranked by the time you played them have been exposed as frauds and aren't ranked anymore, so a win over them is as relevant as a cupcake team.
SC just lost 2 faux-strong opponents this week for their schedule. Did anyone lose that many or more?

No, our SOS actually got better because of Mississippi State.

I am hoping KSU does well for the rest of the year.

Mizzou getting dunked on by Indiana hurts our SOS.

Boise St will probably end the season 11-1 and that game is improving our resume daily. Unfortunately the Vandy win will never look good, and their play vs USCe this week just further proved that USCe is over rated and how weak the East truly is this year. Luckily the polltards still have USCe over ranked, which helps the Aggies as they have arguably the weakest OOC schedule in CFB. No disrespect to them, they had a lot of holes to fill with whoever they could when making the conference switch.

Yeah, welcome to the club.
Owell.
It would have happened sooner or later ... but Indiana? It had to be Indiana?
lulz
Although, I'll say this. Indiana played well, they did what they needed to do to expose Mauk and that OLine and DLine of Mizzou's.

Mauk did not get exposed.
The OLine did get exposed, before and after the injury to G Gotti. While the DLine depth did to a degree. The DLine depth being "exposed" (with Marcus Golden sidelined) is no worse than SC's DLine depth being exposed this year without Clowney.

This is a little disingenuous. USC lost three guys that were either drafted or are on NFL lines right now- not just Clowney.

Mizzou can make the same claim, I suppose. Probably more if I count them up.

BCS is gone, we don't have to worry about this stupid shite anymore.
