Then your "stat" might be correct. Other than that, there's no frickin way.

There's many different ways to calculate SOS and they'll all come up with different results, but none of them would come up with Florida that high. What is all time? Michigan started playing in 1879, Alabama started in 1892, Florida started in 1906.

Do you really think they have SOS rankings from those years? Are they weighted for "Quality" of the opponents? Most use some variation of Opponent Records and Opponents Opponents records. If they're not weighted then you can get a higher rating by playing a semi-decent MAC team over a much better lower ranked P5 team.

Just going back to 2010, do you think your SOS is comparable to Alabama, LSU, Southern Cal or many other schools? It's not.
