going in to tonights game USC's SOS was better than OU or LSU so it is somewhat disingenuous to chastise SC for their conference or schedule
Hate to take up for Scott but..
- Thread starter Sun Tzu

Wrong.
Going into tonight's game, OU's SOS was #14. I believe that USC's was in the #35 neighborhood, and I think that LSU had a higher SOS than USC, but not for sure on the latter.
Bottom line - OU got their ass whipped, K-State deserved it, out played the Sooners in every aspect of the game, and dare I say it. . . was out coached.
Congrats to all of the K-state backer's/bettors.
What can I say, the bitch gotta win one every once in a while, or it's no fun. JK - Congrats.

Eventhough I disagree with the #'s, Oklahoma's SOS was higher then LSU & USC.
If Boise State wins it is a fact that LSU's SOS will be higher then USC's & they have beaten more ranked teams then USC or Oklahoma did.

I have my facts straight
go to the Sagarin page and check it out
USC 30
OU 40
LSU 53
Save your gibberish From what I can tell even the idiots at the BCS think USC had a tougher schedule than LSU, at least before tonight
And it sure makes me wonder how SOS is determined, because isnt that something that should be rather uniform? The idea that USC can beat a team with a winning record and LSU can beat the same team it already beat once and change 20 places is fairly absurd

Yes Sun but the main SOS rankings are in the overall BCS standings which include a whole bunch of #'s & going into today:
Oklahoma 14
USC 37
LSU 54
Oklahoma 14
USC 37
LSU 54
LSU has beaten more ranked teams then both of these schools so go figure where they even get these SOS #'s from.
If the overall SOS ranking for OU differs 26 places between a computer poll and the overall BCS that alone should tell us there is a significant flaw here.
