Good point.

Just passing info along...


No it's not. WE said their OOC schedule was shittastic. Playing in the West saves them from being ranked lower. No one would rank them 81 if three top 10 teams are in your division.

FWIW... I see that Steele notes...

This is NOT my method and the NCAA will probably officially release these calculations in a week or two but I wanted to get a jump start on the information.

The first flaw is basing the ratings on opponents records from the previous season.

The second flaw is basing it on pure overall records. If a team plays an FCS (IAA) school that was 11-1 in 2007, that counts as a MUCH tougher game in the NCAA ratings than facing a team like Alabama who was 7-6 in ‘07 but #1 at the end of ‘08 regular season...

According to this method Texas A&M will play the toughest schedule in the country this year as they jump to the SEC with games against LSU and Alabama. Also keep in mind they play FCS Sam Houston St who went 14-1 last year which helps their win % here.
