Well, a middle-of-the-pack SOS gives us a chance to prove that we've elevated to a middle-of-the-pack team. If we can go .500 then we're officially not a "cellar dweller" anymore. Bring it on!

How do you figure strength of schedule when nobody has played a game doe?

you throw a number out there knowing full well that SEC fans will rush to give your page more views because they are hungry for something to argue about.

the same way they figure pre-season rankings

It's done by computer so it must be right.

And since it is now on the internet, it has to be true!

SOS based on last season's records.

C'mon.

I doubt it just last season's records. Probably based more on the ranking predictions you see in all of the preseason football magazines. It's not science if that's what you're looking for. As another poster in this thread said, it's the same as the preseason top 25. And I think we all agree there's a reason behind ranking Alabama over Marshall.

You are right. Steele does make subjective adjustments.

Although it seems pretty fair.

Kent State and LSU both lost 3 games last year. Which is tougher?
