Non-conference plays a big role in that difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada just got absolutely destroyed by Oregon.. will either team Be bowl eligible this year? You can have your “number” that says the schedule is tougher. I’ll go off common sense. Come over to the East anytime you want... instead Nebraska is second best team in west? Iowa? Lol wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it’s silly to ignore numbers. Overall, the East is more difficult than the West no doubt. But the difference in the non-conference opponents Purdue plays versus what IU plays is substantial. That helps offset the difference in conference schedules. Hasn’t Iowa given IU fits recently? It wouldn’t be easy playing them or Wisky every year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Here's my problem with SOS numbers, and I've said this for years whether it is a strong or weak schedule. Let's say a team is roughly the 40th ranked team in the country. Schedule 1 includes 6 games against top 25 teams, and 6 games against teams ranked 100-130. That would probably be about middle of the pack SOS wise, but that team would likely go 6-6. Schedule 2 is all games of teams ranked in the 50-70 range. The team ranked 40th would probably be favored in every one, and that schedule would still likely be middle of the pack SOS wise. A 6-6 record in that case would be a real disappointment. Strength of schedule sometimes does a terrible job as a predictor of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 11 hours ago, 5 championships said: Since 2015 only Alabama and Clemson have faced more top 10 teams than IU... what a joke. Indiana: 2015: OSU, MSU, Iowa, Michigan 2016: OSU, Nebraska, PSU, MSU 2017: OSU, PSU, Michigan, Wisconsin 2018: MSU, OSU, PSU, Michigan Clemson: 2015: Notre Dame, Florida State, UNC, Oklahoma*, Alabama* 2016: Louisville, Florida State, Virginia Tech, OSU*, Alabama* 2017: Auburn, Louisville, Virginia Tech, NC State, Miami, Alabama* 2018: NC State, BC, Notre Dame*, Alabama* Alabama: 2015: Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State, Florida, Michigan State*, Clemson* 2016: USC, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Washington*, Clemson* 2017: Florida State, LSU, Mississippi State, Auburn, Clemson*, Georgia* 2018: Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia, Oklahoma*, Clemson* Totals Indiana: 16 regular season, 0 CFP Clemson: 13 regular season, 7 CFP (20 total) Alabama: 23 regular season, 8 CFP (31 total) So, if you took the CFP out, we're ahead of Clemson but still behind Bama. Aside: It can't be said that Alabama has cakewalked to its national titles. Christ on a cracker....those schedules from 2015 and 2016 are murder. 2016...10 games against ranked opponents and they were one second (and one out-of-his-mind performance from Deshaun Watson) short of winning all 10.
