UCF fans will like the "Resume S&P+" and USF fans can take heart that maybe having a sucky SOS is not the most telling metric when guessing how good the team is.

College football strength of schedule rankings and how to have a useful conversation about them

Included at the bottom is a new SOS-style ranking system that will be updated here each week.

Spoiler Alert, UCF is ranked #6, USF is #20.

Wow. Great article. My attention span isn't so great but still read the whole thing.

For those that couldn't make it through the whole thing, it basically calculates how the top 5 teams would fare against our schedule and then compares that against how USF actually did. Simple right? 😉 It makes sense. Would any of the current top 5 teams be unranked if they had played our schedule? This metric tries to answer that question. Go Bulls!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
