And note SOS...Alabama's is weakest of any ranked P5 school other than Wisc. Even weaker than UW.

Interesting that our SoS, SoR, and game control all cluster around our rank. Though I think that GC is unfavorable to our methodical style as games are rarely blowouts by halftime.

So of course Miami is down 17=7 v Pitt with less than 10 minutes to go in 4Q.
That's why they play the games!

Pitt recovers stripped ball.  U with no timeouts.  Game, 24-14.

There are now two undefeated P5 teams...Alabama and Wisconsin.

They also have the two weakest SOS of any P5 top 25 team.

Coincidence?

Stanford has the 6th toughest SOS in the top 25, with a remaining game against ND which is likely to make our SOS even tougher.

Give ND credit...they have the toughest SOS in the top 25 ( although of course no CCG possibility).
