[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 54121, member: 322"] The whole reason I went back to this thread is that I had the idea that our 1990 National Championship was due to a weak SOS. Turns out here are the SOS Power Rankings for the National Champions for the last 30 years: [IMG]https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/9038/79hb1ccpvenscw36g.jpg[/IMG] So it turns out that our SOS in the NC year was consistent with most NCs. Seems that the most common way to get to the NC is an easier SOS -- and every one else loses a game. Look at FSU last year - easy ACC schedule for the year, Duke in the ACC Championship. Then they had to win a tough game at the end. For 2014, our SOS is projected to be .52 before any bowl game or ACCCG. This year with the four game playoff, I'd expect it will be easier to get into the four teams with a weak SOS and winning every game; but then winning the two games against two really tough teams will be more difficult than beating one team.
