After a little research and some simple Excel calculations, I pulled together a couple statistics regarding conference strength of schedules. Using the Week 7 strength of schedule rankings provided by the Rogers Poll (link here), Rankings were determined by calculating the average SOS rating for each conference with the highest average rating being the best.

All you SEC fans out there, hold onto your hats, you may not like what you are about to see.

Listed below are the Week 7 BCS Strength of Schedule Rankings with total points shown in parentheses:

  • #1 - PAC-10 (559.32)
  • #2 - SEC (546.42)
  • #3 - ACC (527.19)
  • #4 - Big12 (497.72)
  • #5 - Big10 (495.63)
  • #6 - Big East (469.67)

Check back each week as I will try and post updated SOS rankings on a weekly-basis. Also, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Note: PSU (411.70) and Michigan (471.79) are ranked #99 and #67 respectively in this week's individual SOS rankings.
