But, as you can imagine, strength of schedule is right at the top. Point differential against that strength is big. And, as we mentioned before, being in a traditional state helps. In all, there are 15 items in the algorithm. 6 minutes ago, HSFBA said: I guess I misread your question...preseason is a scaled down version of the algorithm...SOS, returners, tradition and state to name a few...sorry Thanks for being here with us. If I'm understanding you, SOS plays a big part at the front end and as the season goes on. But how do you determine SOS in week 0? I take it that it's in large part by returners, tradition, and state. I don't want you to have to kill me -- so tell me to get lost before it comes to that -- but I'd like to ask you what other factors determine SOS in week 0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s a birth defect I have. :) I like to analyze stuff. We tend to evaluate algorithms as intensely as other polls here. We have had multiple threads about Freeman’s ratings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing specific other than those SoFL teams beat up on each other during any given year. They hung in the 68 to 100 range most of last year. So as long as they win they will have no trouble jumping into rankings within a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an educated algorithm guess. The truth is...and I almost did it last year...I don't like doing the PS. However, I might get killed if I wait until after Labor Day. I did that in 2013 and 2014 and people went NUTS! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's the algorithm and not me. But, I think they played SJR pretty tough and I respect Coach Augie. The on-the-field will tell. NJ is a VERY strong state. Don't think I'll get argument on that haha 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
