Strength of Record measures how you’ve performed against the SOS. SOS is just how difficult your schedule has been. So SOS is the main component of SOR, but it then looks to see how you did against the SOS.


1. Texas A&M
2. Alabama

3. Indiana
4. Georgia
5. Ole Miss

6. Ohio State
7. BYU
8. Vanderbilt
9. Miami
10. Georgia Tech
11. Note Dame
12. Oregon
13. Oklahoma
14. Texas Tech
15. Missouri
16. Tennessee

17. Cincinnati
18. Texas
19. Louisville
20. Houston
21. Washington
22. Michigan
23. Illinois
24. Tulane
25. Iowa

26. LSU
40. Auburn
44. Florida
49. Mississippi State
54. South Carolina
59. Kentucky
80. Arkansas

Surprised by this, with that weak LSU team weighing us down.

Thankfully Tulane has made up for that.

how is SOR different than SOS? I can't keep up with all these different metrics.

Indiana's scheudle is laughable so it's crazy to me that any kind of "strength of" metric could have them in the top 3

Agree, I think it has to do with how bad you beat the shite out of said team

There just aren’t many undefeated teams left and Indiana has won @ #3 Oregon, @ #15 Iowa and vs #30 Illinois.

We looked into the future and knew how good all these teams would be. Then slipped Sankey a 20

You’re upset at us for avoiding bottom tier teams?

Nor I. I guess I'm supposed to be happy but I don't understand.

From their glossary:

SOR:Strength of Record rank. Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would have team's record or better, given the schedule.
