Strength of Schedule

Of course we all know the answer.

Right now Penn State has the No. 7 strength of schedule. That ranking will only go up over our next 3 games.

Check this out. New to me and it;s called "Strength of Record" (who makes this shit up?). Has PSU 2nd behind only LSU. It essentially says strength of schedule matters more if you win and less when you're getting your ass kicked.

Did the 82 PSU team have #1 SOS?

Ok, so the post is indeed odd since PSU would have virtually the same strength of schedule - if not superior - by winning out. The main differences between PSU and tOSU's schedules (besides playing the other team) is PSU playing Minn & Iowa versus Wisconsin and non-conference playing Pitt versus Cincinnati. To wit...

"If things break well with other teams this could be Penn State's resume.

8-4 Buffalo
9-3 Pitt
8-4 Indiana
7-5 Michigan State
10-2 Iowa
10-2 Minnesota
11-1 Ohio State
9-3 Michigan
10 win Big Ten West Champ"

I'm confused as to how Penn State wouldn't warrant a mention if LSU did.

I recall us with best Strength of Schedule when we won National Title after 1982 season.
