SOS slowly improving

[RyantheMagicFan]

With continuing wins by FAU, Memphis, Pitt, Temple and SMU, we have actually beaten more teams with records at .500 or more then we have with losing records now. SOS is up to 80 now. Not that anyone will talk about that, most of the P5 sheep are still thinking we haven't played any winning teams. Just a fun thing to consider. Maybe some of the teams early on were struggling because they put so much into beating UCF, that they didn't have much left for the games after.

Pitt looking good to win the ACC coastal which will help perception and SOS.

Teams like SMU, Temple, FAU struggled at the beginning of the year because they were playing solid OOC teams like Michigan, TCU, Boston College, Oklahoma, etc.

Sargin manipulates his stats. His crap should never be used.

SOS is just your opponents winning %

SOS schooldays be more than the opponents winning %. You don’t think beating Temple should be considered better than Idaho even if both have same record?

Very rarely will you see a raw SOS. Most sites manually adjust them. But don't tell you how or what they did.

About The New Ratings
Our new power ratings have been in development since 2011. Designed exclusively for predictive purposes, these ratings improve upon the old ratings in several ways, most notably by incorporating a preseason rating for each team that improves early season accuracy

No. SOS is just a misnomer. Most times its used completely wrong because it's name imply something else. It's just your opponents win %. Some include you opponent's opponents win %.
