Am I reading that right? Our SOS is 58th? How is that even possible?

Outside of the big 5 games, our entire schedule has been Q4 teams. Winthrop was on the cusp of being Q3 last I checked, but the rest are mostly cupcakes that even other cupcakes schedule as cupcakes.
-
WInthrop is now Q3 by 7 spots. Fresno State is the only other team that's even in the top 200 at #167.
Southern is #297
UCA is #229
Samford is #257
Jackon State is #355
Queens is #233
JMU is #226
So we just kinda meet at the middle in terms of overall SoS.
