98.9 % of the bullshit rankings out there (collectively) rank UCF's OOC schedule within its own division as tougher than Bama's OOC schedule. In the bullshit ranking/mythical world that's an overwhelming consensus...no way around it. Only a very few systems include FCS teams so Mercer and Maine should be discarded if you are going to consider 100% of the bullshit ranking world...and 100% of something does indeed tell you more ( Sagarin is 1% of the bullshit ranking world)....and how can you anoint that bullshit system as the most accurate ? Have you checked out all the other bullshit systems out there for accuracy...and what non mythical criteria is used to determine accuracy ? Is it W-L results in bowls or something ? The bullshit ranking world says UCF has a tougher NC schedule than Alabama...not me.
Also what's your response to 33% of the bullshit ranking world saying UCF is currently a top 5 team ? There is no real world opportunity to really prove them wrong is there ?
No other team sport on Earth is tied to a bullshit ranking world like big time CF is. Would you agree or disagree with that ?
Except that they don't. Most don't even have a specific SOS calculation.
Just using the BCS computer systems I showed above a full 33% don't have an explicit SOS, much less an SOS for the OOC schedule, or the OOC schedule for which actual games weren't played.
I go to the first system listed - PiRate
He acknowledges his results are not 100% computer calculated. He has a spreadsheet and then he and some ladies interpret game results using a number of factors.
On schedule: "Schedule Difficulty: This year’s schedule means very little when determining my weekly ratings." He makes a lot of comparisons to last year end."
I checked the 1st 5 on the list, none rank UCF's schedule higher than Bama's, if they even include SOS as a factor.
ARGH only includes points and wins or losses, doesn't matter who you played. It's a predictive tool.
James Howell ranks Bama #1 and UCF #20.
Bama's YTD SOS is .559 and overall SOS is .619
UCf's YTD SOS is .392 and overall SOS is .432
On both Bama's SOS has a 43% higher rating.
But, I didn't need a computer to tell me that.
