Arkansas should be #1 on SOS. Assuming that South Carolina and LSU dont fall out of the top 25 before they play them, every SEC game that Arkansas plays except Mississippi State will be against a top 25 team.

You are correct on the Gamecocks!!! Lets see Iowa at 3-0 unranked plays PSU 3-0 but ranked 5th and in the same conferance??? If Joe Paterno wasn’t senile even he would think the rankings are a joke!!

VT plays the biggest bunch of nobodies all year and then can’t go undefeated and still gets #8 ??? They are consistantly around 60th in all other strength of schedules. What’s up??

You must be an idiot. They have played Alabama, Nebraska, and Miami already… and do not play non BCS teams… check your facts and you won’t look so ignorant.

Here we are after week 4 and the South Carolina Gamecocks who have the toughest schedule in the country are 3-1 and just beat #4 Ole Miss. Only loss was to Georgia by 4 points and yet we were excluded from all the polls…didnt even break the top 25. What a total lack of respect for a very good team.

Gee i wonder how the gators can get to the bsc championship game? Oh i know play teams like troy as a regular season game. Give them a schedule like the gamecocks and see how well they do. How can you be the number 1 team and have a schedule like that. It ia BS. GO IRISH!!!

Phil Steele uses his own formula I believe. He bases his rankings on a number of factors that others don’t. That’s probably why they seem different.

He explains it here: http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/June09/DBJune9.html

How is it that Miami’s schedule isn’t in the top 10? But Michigan St’s is? Seriously? With two directional Michigans…at home no less.

Miami is a conference game for FSU, but the non-conference schedule is still tough!
