ilovethecats said:Not sure. But obviously our strength of schedule would go down had we not played an FBS school. But I think that goes without saying. But it seems the strength of schedule argument would be pointless if we just removed the good teams that teams have to play. I think that is the entire point of a strength of schedule. And why it changes week to week.EverettGriz said:Take out the game where your defense couldn't hold back a fart and what's the msu number?
I don't know how far the Cats will get this year but I'd think that unless we make it back to Frisco and NDSU is there again that OSU will be our toughest opponent all year. So playing them, even with them shelacking us, will obviously bolster our strength of schedule.
But here's the rub: Your SOS would be the same if OSU beat you on a hail mary after you dominated the whole game, right? Of course, that's not what happened. SOS doesn't mean as much if all the good teams that got you that SOS beat you by 40.
