ESPN tends to push games that they carry - both the Oregon and UNC games were on ESPN or ABC.

When you have an SEC champion, the numbers seem to show that they should get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to choosing the contenders for the championship.
The Big 12 should not (especially now, having lost Nebraska and being required to play more mediocre teams from old the Big 12 North).

Agreed - it is easy to play the numbers. My issue with the NCAA numbers is that it appears to be completely based upon the win-loss record of the opponent. This is certainly a valid way to sort the numbers, but other factors (such as a BCS ranking, whether the game is a home or away game, etc.) are relevant too.
I really like to look at the numbers. Thanks for posting the NCAA numbers - very interesting.
This seems to explain the basics of how the numbers that I posted were calculated: LINK

Repost from Tiger Rant:
LSU has had the second toughest from 2003-2010. The toughest? Arkansas - little surprise there. After all, Arky has to play LSU every year.

Another poster noticed that 11 of the SEC schools are in the top 20. Geaux Tigers.

I'll repost it there - I'd like to hear some other teams' prospectives.

Definitely. I thought another interesting note was that Texas' SOS in those seven years was 50. That was much lower than I expected, playing in the Big 12.

I'll tell you what would happen: what Tigerdroppings could not kill, Tigerdroppings would fire.
But thankfully, Tigerdroppings is not in charge. Miles would stay even if he only won seven games this year.

I appreciate the good things that Toliver has done for the school. He has made his mistakes, as most people do in college. However, I really want him to succeed and I hope this setback only gets him to work harder.
