Re: College Football 2017-18: Now with more CTE!
And if you look at other sites, they come up with a totally different SOS rating. Seems like Bamas would have gone down after the bowl games, since the SEC was well under .500. In other words, there's barely a way to come up with a number that is statistically relevant and meaningful.
But ignore the SEC bias, the non conference schedule- Bama played FSU (which should have been strong, but they were barely .500), Colorado State, Fresno (who ended up good) and Mercer. If I were a fan, I would not be all that happy, since none of those teams, other than FSU, are terribly interesting.
Still, IMHO, it sucks that winning a conference championship has so little importance, and that also means that losing a conference, even by one game, has barely an impact. That sucks a lot of life out of what should make football interesting. Now it's more of a national sport just to get TV ratings. yay....
