I had made reference to Sagarin's SOS rankings on the Sagarin topic, but I'll post it again here: 1. Washington St. 2. Arizona St. 3. Utah 4. Stanford 5. California 6. UCLA 7. Colorado 8. Mississippi St. 9. Georgia 10. Mississippi 11. Tennessee 12. Oregon St. 13. Southern California 14. Washington 15. Florida 16. Arkansas 17. Notre Dame 18. Arizona 19. Purdue 20. Auburn Oregon, at 28, was the only P12 team that didn't have a top 20 SOS.
Joel, where are you? Look above. You'll see that Sagarin has rated the ND schedule the 17th toughest in the land, just barely nosing out Brown.
Thanks, Kes. Jif has been waving the flag of ND's "weak" schedule for over 20 years. I doubt he'll change his tune, but we can use all the ammo available.
Sid - understood. I've witnessed less than 15 years of jif's drum beats, and I agree, the tune isn't going to change any time soon. When I looked back at the data, it's been since 2008 since ND had an average SOS. George - no kidding!
