Strength of Schedule rankings through week 13

Using the FEI ELS metric. Pretty much the only SoS I consider valid since it's not based on averages.

Strength of schedule ratings represent the number of losses a team two standard deviations above average would expect to have against the schedule of opponents.

Only for games played thus far, doesn't count future games. Listed in order by overall rank, expected losses to the right.

#3 Florida - 2.75
#5 South Carolina - 2.67
#7 Texas - 2.53
#8 Alabama - 2.51
#9 Missouri - 2.43
#10 Arkansas - 2.42
#10 Kentucky - 2.42
#12 Auburn - 2.36
#14 Oklahoma -2.34
#18 LSU - 2.15
#19 Miss St - 2.09
#22 Georgia - 1.84
#23 Tennessee - 1.83
#31 Vanderbilt - 1.57
#32 Texas A&M - 1.50
#36 Ole Miss - 1.47

Other Notables:

#25 Oregon - 1.77
#29 BYU - 1.62
#33 Indiana - 1.50
#34 Notre Dame - 1.48
#51 Texas Tech - 1.22
#53 Miami - 1.15
#56 Ohio St - 1.04

That Ole Miss schedule gonna get Lane paid. Vandy and Texas A&M also benefit from easier schedules, however still better than the majority of contenders from other conferences.

Ohio St finally gets to 1 expected loss on their schedule, but still has a pathetic schedule. That shite is G5 level.

Alabama is the only team that has a top10 schedule and is also a top10 team.

Oklahoma is next on the list as the only top10 team with a top15 schedule.

Georgia and Oregon round it out with schedules in the top25.

No other contender has a SoS in the top25 - unless Texas pulls off a miracle as a 3 loss team.
