Kenpom says the 2 toughest SOS in the country are Big10 teams, 3 of the top 5 SOS are Big10, 6 of the top 10 are Big10 teams. and 12 of the top 20 SOS are Big10 teams.
The Big12 has 6 of the top 20 SOS.
Did Baylor just DUNK on Iowa again?
Remember that Baylor team that ISU SWEPT? 3 times in 2012-2013?
Baylor then played Iowa in the NIT in NYC and dunked all over their azzz??-----with Iowa's "amazing depth", I found this loss to Baylor baffling

I don't use Sagarin for basketball. Sagarin is actually more favorable to Iowa State than KenPom is but I still use KenPom. Explain to me how that is funny
Iowa has the 5th hardest schedule. Iowa State has the 6th hardest schedule
It is funny that you take any of the SOS so seriously. It is funny that you act like 5-10 spots in SOS is some kind of crazy tougher or easier in a schedule to brag about. It is funny that you troll so badly now. Most everything you say is a joke and it is funny because you try to be serious about it.
Iowa State was 5th in SOS for football. Iowa was 30th. That's actually a pretty big gap
In 5 out of 7 metrics Iowa had the tougher SOS, and in some it was a pretty big gap.
Wasn't it the Iowa fan who brought up schedules into this conversation in the first place? Lol
I mean I get it, that was all they had when they were the punching bag of the Big12. You'd think at some point ISU fans would realize they are decent/good now and you don't have to have little brother syndrome and brag on SOS all the time.
I only talk about it here and nowhere else, as it is obviously very important here. Nobody gives SOS such importance as ISU fans.
Ehh idk. I think a lot of people care about it in sports and it plays somewhat of a factor.. That's why San Diego State isn't #1 in the nation, or UNI isn't in the top 5 in the nation. Nit picking it is annoying though and arguing between a difference between the #4 and the #8 ranking.
SOS can also be severely flawed. If you are a top 10 team and play a bunch of 5-7 to 7-5 teams in football, then you will probably have a much harder SOS compared to a top 10 team that plays 3 other teams with 10-2 records and the rest at 2-10. I feel the the latter team played the hardest schedule, whereas most rankings would probably say the former team played the hardest schedule. Just one example of how I think it is flawed. Especially for football.
