Also UGA's offense being 2 at this point is a surprise

Agreed - but their efficiency and YPP and all that has still been pretty good, even with the bad half at Mizzou and the non-scoring half vs UGA.

I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not but how much, if any, weight does strength of opponent/schedule play in all of these calculations?

It plays a part - it's weighted in a way that teams with bad SoS's have that effect them more than teams with good SoS's have it effect them, if that makes sense.

Arkansas and Auburn, for instance, have very hard SoS. It increases their numbers a little. James Madison has played a horrid schedule. It decreases their numbers by 2x as much as the good schedule helps Arkansas and Auburn. Just my personal preference - I think that stats stack up against really terrible teams in a way that requires a larger adjustment than a team that has maybe played a really hard schedule on the other end. Part of that is there is a hard floor for poorer performance than there is just scoring and moving the ball at will on terrible teams.

I know that was kind of scatterbrained but that's how I've done it.
