🏈 Phil Steele's commentary worth read: NCAA's rankings and strength of schedule for 2014,

TerryP · Mar 26, 2014

Tagging off, and running another direction from the Jeremy Fowler thread.

Using the NCAA's methodology, as Steel puts it, 95th easiest schedule in 2014 (out of 128.)

At this point we need  @It Takes Eleven  to do the math...

So, were does that leave a team at the end of a 13 win season? That's coming off of an 11 win season preceding this years slate as well?

Steele —In 2012, I had Florida as my surprise winner of the SEC East and they wound up going 11-1 in the regular season. I also had UCF as one of my top non-BCS teams and they finished with 10 wins. However, if you used the NCAA method you only got credit for playing two teams who were a combined 12-13 in 2011.
