[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 376572, member: 1803"] Takes into account the strength of schedule and the infield performance of the team and compares it to how a pretty good (average top 25 team) would do in it. Going 10-2 with 3 tough games and 9 very easy games is expected. It basically takes out outliers that distort SoS and normalizes it to a projected win total compared to actual win total that can be actually useful in comparing different teams schedules. SoS is useful, but like ELO style ratings, is succeptbile to outliers that can make it look way worse than it actually is. (Wisconsins SoS before and after their game aginady tOSU jumped over 10 spots) ESPN isn't the only one that does it. ELo style rankings do similar things in a meaningful manner but still have their flaws. SoS is in general a better metric than SoS because it allows for comparisons that mean something and takes into account wins and losses [/QUOTE]
