I think FEI has the best SoS layout - SoS for a Top 10 team, Top 25ishteam, top 50 team. Basically, number of losses a Top 10 team would have vs your schedule, a top 25 team, top 50 team. Playing the #77 team vs playing the #89 team doesn't change much for the ELS (Top 10 team) because they'd beat either.

"Top 25 Team SOS" (GLS) (# of losses a top 25 team would be expected to have vs schedule to date)
1. Kentucky (1.25)
6. Florida (1.06)
8. South Carolina (0.99)
11. Georgia (0.98)
12. LSU (0.95)
14. Texas A&M (0.93)
23. Texas (0.80)
52. Alabama (0.49)
61. Arkansas (0.44)
73. Mississippi State (0.33)
77. Oklahoma (0.32)
81. Auburn (0.30)
92. Vanderbilt (0.22)
106. Missouri (0.17)
108. Tennessee (0.16)
119. Ole Miss (0.11)


4. Michigan (1.11)
9. Clemson (0.99)
30. Oregon (0.74)
39. Notre Dame (0.65)
42. USC (0.63)
94. Miami (0.22)
97. Penn State (0.21)
126. Ohio State (0.02)

Wisconsin has completely changed their offense to a pass happy spread out attack. Problem is even when Van dyke was healthy, he has garbage receivers to throw to, and an offensive line that resembles very little of the old Barry Alvarez and early Paul Chryst days. They have shite at skill positions except the DBs but that alone won’t win you shite in the Big Ten or quality SEC opponents



If they are so pass happy, how come they have ran the ball 128 times vs 94 pass attempts?

No, if they played I would pick NC State. I watched that Bama@ Wisc game, the Badgers looked very slow, not many athletes. I like NC State's freshman QB they played Saturday. Neither team is very good.

Look at their play distribution pre Fickell. They were 75/25 run pass. Those days are over in Madison and until they address that problem, they will be severely limited by who they can recruit.

Ohio State, Tennessee, Miami and Ole Miss have played utterly garbage schedules so far.


Yeah, but they did exactly what they should have done to those crap teams, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't matter anyway. The rankings will shake themselves out by the end of the season. They're really only useful for putting eyeballs on TV screens at this point in the year anyway.

Somebody on Alabama’s schedule clearly is.


No. People haven’t gotten the memo that Saban retired and just see “Bama” and think they must be good

We still have not seen DeBoer’s team against even a decent team. We have seen DeBoer’s team struggle against a really bad team though.

Ole Miss has a fairly easy schedule in general.


It has been a long damn time since we could say that though!
