That's because most of those ranked teams have won most of their game giving the teams they play a worse recored and in return weakening their strength of schedule. Had we won the Poly and NAU games we would not be number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 No, we would be at #8 and tied for #21 overall if we were undefeated. Pretty big difference from #2, the point is that bad teams inherently increase their strength of schedule by giving their opponents wins. Look at the other teams on the list, for the most part they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon, we will be among them................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
