[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 1005247, member: 6771"] Is it wrong to schedule weaker teams when you know your team needs to grow as a season progresses? I guess that depends on motives, which are hard to assess. Perhaps a serial under-schedule might be penalized but I'm just not sure. The bigger issue (IMPO) is what does it do the team itself? Does it make them weaker, or does it help them develop. I see no inherent good in scheduling a killer non-con slate. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's harmful. The major issue to me is more of did you do with the better teams you played. If you beat them that should stand on its own with no penalty. I don't like OOC SOS at all, generally, as a determinative metric. It doesn't tell you how good or bad a team is. It is not determinative unless you schedule weak and lose to them. I'd rather go by good wins. It's a much stronger metric that is determinative. As for the chart above, the ACC and BE got better from 2014-18 to 2019-24. The winning percentage increased over that range while the SEC, B1G, and B12 WP all fell. So which conferences have gotten stronger? The pretty clear explanation for that is the ACC got fewer invites 2019-24 and so more of their invites were the better teams. Very true. I would make two observations though. 1) The ACC was the top conference even when they got more invites than any other (2014-18). 2) The performance of the SEC/B1G/B12 were very bad - on average - when their middle teams began to get invites (2019-24) - much worse than the ACC in the prior set. I don't advocate for the ACC to dominate. I advocate for the ACC to get equity in invites. Just equity, that is all. Same for football. [/QUOTE]
