This is why a 4 loss team is still ranked

I'm curious to what formula they used to produce this list? It doesn't make since to me how low down Arkansas is when they have had to play the number 1 and 2 teams in the nation. Their cupcake was Arkansas Pine Bluff I believe.

This is so off / there is no way Alabama can be #1 when they don't even have to play Alabama.

Yeah, I don't know what this is, but it's not Strength of Schedule. This is some other metric they're showing called "Strength of Schedule Power Rating". Alabama has one of the weakest schedules in the SEC this year.

For comparison, here's a few other sites that came up with a google search:

https://sagarin.usatoday.com/2021-2/college-football-team-ratings-2021/. (not sos, but has sos in parenthesis next to team)


These look to have Bama with an average of around 40, and certainly nowhere near #1 or even anywhere near what ours is to this point.
