I’m not a huge fan of the 10+ win stat because it doesn’t factor SOS.



If you have a bunch of 10+ win seasons in a P5 conference it's a good bet that your SOS was fairly solid.

Boise State has 18 seasons of 10+ wins since 1996, yet you’d be hard-pressed to find 10 wins against ranked opponents during those 18 seasons.



And no one has them anywhere close to Auburn's level for that very reason.

Some SOS’s are more “solid” than others.

Take Iowa. Kirk Ferentz has racked up two 10-win seasons in the past three seasons. How has Iowa’s schedule compared to Auburn’s for example the past 3 years:

Top 5 opponents played: Iowa 4, Auburn 6
Top 10 opponents played: Iowa 4, Auburn 8
Top 25 opponents played: Iowa 7, Auburn 14

It’s almost like playing in the SEC West is twice as difficult as playing in the Big 10 West. Anyone actually think Iowa would have had a 10-win season the past three years had we traded schedules?
