Uh, I disagree big-time. It wouldn't be hard for LSU Tonto undefeated playing Clemsons schedule at all. On the other hand, if Clemson had to play LSUs schedule, I believe they would have lost a game by now. Hell, fricking UNC gave Clemson all they could handle and had their chances to win that game late. So, hell no, it isn't difficult to go undefeated playing Clemsons powder puff schedule vs who LSU has had to play, and still has to play. What a joke. Clemson and the acc are not comparable to the sec, or even the big 10 for that matter. They're one of the weakest power 5 conferences. Laughable.


You do realize Clemson and Ohio State are ranked behind LSU in this, right?

I'm confused what you are arguing.

I don't understand these

Ranks an average team’s chances of having the same record as a team. The higher ranked a team, the lower the chance an average team will have the same record as the original team

I think

Title says strength of record, which I assume is different from strength of schedule

Swap Clemson with Oregon and I at least won't laugh at that.

It's a ranking of teams by resume


“Resume” in this context is subjective

You believe?

I’m sure Bama believed that last year before Clemson laid 44 on them.

If Alabama beats Auburn, they will have a better SOR than Clemson as well.

If Auburn beats Alabama, their SOR will catapult.

It's easier when you only have to prep for 1-2 games a year.
