It seems to me that the concept of schedule strength can only be awarded retrospectively, especially in college where a team's "goodness" is based on the voting. I don't watch much college football for the precise reason that it boils down to a popularity/money making contest to award champions, but it still seems like we should wait until the season is over to assess the difficulty of schedule. Wasn't it last season where OSU faced three teams ranked #2 at the time of contest? Where did the not Gators teams end up "ranked?"
I guess I don't have anything else to say to occupy the aforementioned etc. in the title, but I'll be jiggered if I'll delete it now.
