It would be interesting to see how he came about those, by looking at each schedule thus far.
He must be using rankings at the time the games were played, rather than current rankings. Correct?
With regard to SCAR it would look like this ... road games in bold.
vs UNC (currently 5-5)
@ Georgia (full strength and #11 then, unranked now)(currently 6-4)
vs Vandy (currently 6-4)
@ UCF (unranked then, #17 now)(currently 8-1)
vs Kentucky (currently 2-8)
@ Arkansas (currently 3-7)
@ Tennessee (currently 4-6)
@ Mizzou (#5 at the time, #8 for the time being)(currently 9-1)
vs Miss St (currently 4-6)
vs Florida (currently 4-6)
vs Coastal Carolina (#8 FCS)(currently 10-1)
vs Clemson (#7) (currently 9-1)
I think having the 21st strongest SOS is generous and it can only be because of the road games we've played against ranked teams IMHO.
Should only go up when we beat Clemson at our place, although Mizzou losing to Ole Miss and A&M will probably hurt us in the long run.
Admittedly though, we played the two weakest teams in the conference this season in Kentucky and Arkansas. And losing to Tennessee, even at their place, is almost unforgivable.

Bolded teams have artificially inflated SOS due to having played Alabama.
Alabama is at a disadvantage from a SOS standpoint because they can't play themselves.
Alabama - at this junction in the season - has already played more teams with winning records than the entire 2004 Auburn Tigers football team did.

But I had it on good authority that Arkansas has played a far tougher schedule than Kentucky.

SEC East plays big boy football.
Posted on 11/18/13 at 1:56 pm to AtlantaSportsGuy
Arguably the best four teams in the league coincidentally have the easiest schedules.
Posted on 11/18/13 at 1:56 pm to AtlantaSportsGuy
Will our SOS go up or down after we beat Mizzou?
Posted on 11/18/13 at 2:27 pm to AtlantaSportsGuy
notice those that lose have tougher schedules. Mizzou should have lost more games so we could brag about SoS like last year when we finished #1.

To bad Alabama doesn't have to play Alabama isn't it ?
Also, both Bama & Auburn's SOS will soar after the Iron bowl.
DUH DUH

I'm thinkin your statistics can blow me
Posted on 11/18/13 at 6:28 pm to AtlantaSportsGuy
not playing ourselves really hurts our strength of schedule

Yeah, frick our schedule.
Posted on 11/18/13 at 9:44 pm to AtlantaSportsGuy
I wonder how good USCjr's strength of schedule would have been if they didn't get the two worst teams in the SEC West as cross division games.
Ole Miss and Texas AM
or
Arkansas and Miss St

Can't play ourselves and we make everyone we play look worse. Georgia should feel bad for not raising our SOS.
