I'm good with the Aggies at #2 or #3, but this glitchy SOS ranking is affecting most all of the SEC.

SOS Rankings:

Ohio State 23
Oklahoma 25
Georgia 30
Indiana 35
Alabama 41
Ole Miss 66
t.U. 69
Texas A&M 78

SEC should have done their own thing a long time ago. Sankey acts like an Big10 plant.
1) Repeal the 9 game conference schedule.
2) Cancel the SECCG
3) Fully rotating SEC schedule

Garbage. If it’s going to be that bogus then just add like 8 teams to the SEC and break away from the NCAA and have 12 SEC games every year and our own playoff

Believe Sagarin already has that factored in for the most part.

Georgia schedule strength 30
4 Bama
7 Ole Miss
10 Texas
16 Georgia Tech
23 Tennessee

Ohio State schedule strength 23
10 Texas
18 Michigan

How on earth does that make sense?

That’s from last week. The SOS rating somehow dropped to 80 after beating Mizzou. I would love to know where they come up with this because it makes no sense.

Curious where to find the CFP committee SoS ranking. They use Sports Source Analytics (provides data for CFBStats.com) to compile all data. But, I have a hard time believing those are the correct SoS #s.

Anyone have a link to the actual rankings they use for SoS (not a social media post). I can't find it, so just wondering where he got the info.

Putting tOSU’s schedule as highest is an utter joke.

I’m fine with that.

If the Big Ten wants to send their top team at the end of the year to play whoever wins the SEC great, otherwise let’s be done with it.

AFC (B10) playoffs -> Super Bowl <- NFC (SEC)

I’d be fine with FEI, Sagarin or SP+ but whatever this is flies in the face of all logic and objective measurement.

the conferences don't play enough inter conference games to get an accurate SOS.

He’s a corporate stooge acting as a commissioner. The guy sucks.
