I guess if it's literally one or the other... I didn't know it was that LITERAL!

Either OSU is overrated or Texas is a very good team that has had an under performing QB. Which one is it??

It is neither. As I said pages ago in this thread, Strength of Schedule is really a meaningless and flawed way to assess teams. A much better way is Strength of Record, especially when viewed post season and the CFP final rankings are being made. It is also a good measure of Ohio State and Texas at this point.

Ohio State is 7-0, having allowed only 41 points scored against them. They are what there record says they are, ranked 1st by a wide margin. That mat change but right now it seems accurate.

Texas on the other hand, doesn't quite have the same resume as they sit at 6-2:
--- needed overtime to beat two of the worst teams in the SEC (Kentucky, Mississippi State).
--- has one win over a team with a record better than .500 (Oklahoma).
--- has one good loss to No. 1 Ohio State.
--- has one bad loss to Florida, a team that has since fired its head coach.

As a dedicated SEC fan you can make your own judgement. What will soon follow is Texas being discarded like a bad habit in a similar fashion as LSU. Don't be surprised if Tennessee and Oklahoma join them before the end of the season. Strength of Schedule is keeping them in play, Strength of record will show the truth and doom them.

Its literally one or the other. Either Texas is terrible and Indiana or A&M should be the number one team since OSU struggled a ton against Texas at home or Texas is a very good team that has had a QB problem almost every game.

Trying to down play strength of schedule is just admitting that you know the B!G for years now has been a 3 or 4 conference team Other than head to head matchups SOS is by far the strongest indicator of what teams actually have the talent and are good and what teams are benefiting from their schecdule

Im a Navy fan but for the millionth time Im objective. Once again not sure how to make it anymore clear no one is happier when an SEC team loses than other SEC fans. They all hate each other
