So am I to look at the numbers provided by Fag-arin and see that the Big 10's SOS Rank is 3rd and the Big lEast is 4th? No wonder their winning percentage is higher, the Big lEast, as a whole, plays a weaker schedule than the Big 10 does!

do we wish to talk of of weak schedules?? Sagarin has UPS' @ 106 :lol:

and BTW, those Conf Rankings were from RPI

I was showing you that the CONFERENCE SOS in the Big10 was tougher than that of the Big lEast. Those numbers, that YOU provided, say that the Big 10 plays tougher competition than the Big lEast does on a weekly basis.

I'm just talking about what you presented. Naturally weak SOS=Wins for a conference.

in the RPI only games against Division I opponents are counted and Rutgers had a horribly weak ooc schedule this yr...and yet big 10 is 3rd & BE 4th....not that big of a deal! Bottom line does not change: BE ranked 2nd; big 10 ranked 4th!! UPS' sos > 106 & funny thing, that's improvement over last few years :oops:
