That isn't relevant to SOS.

when you get past about the 50th rated team, they're all about the same...Fresno had no shot at all that game

Of course it is when you're playing them. It doesn't matter how talented our team was.

let me just say this,some of yuu may disagree, but Hester is, was the better all-around Rb, IMO, as far running, blocking, pass catching, I don't ever recall Williams picking up th blitz or Scott blocking and pass catching to much.


there is a reason "the little things" for running backs are not called the big things

naw tap just flips out if you call 2006 a better team, and i didn't wanna go down that road

but 2006, especially when KW was our #1 RB was a better team than 2007 LSU

didn't tech beat them is a shoot-out earlier in the year?

that was always my gripe with a pure linear SOS formula, beating the 60th ranked team shouldn't get you more points than beating the 90th

I think most people realize that. I think most people are arguing that Scott/Williams should have seen more carries than they did, not be the feature back.


Isn't that like Winning the Lottery & complaining because you got paid in 20's rather than 100 dollar bills?

oh i fully agree

once you get past 50-60 or so, they're all gimmie wins

your SOS should be the avg ranking of the top 4 teams you play. end of story. those are your real games

i dont even understand the argument. you'ld have to be a retard to think the 06 schedule wasnt harder and the 06 team wasnt better.

Saying someone should receive more carries than he was getting and saying someone should be the feature back are two different things.

to be fair though, the 06 team as a whole improved significantly as the year went on. Pretty much every offensive position improved quite a bit.
