So basically SOS is according to you and how you see it. Got it! I'd like to see how you define it. I looked up the schedule for each, we play 3 ranked teams, two of which are sitting in the top 11 (USC and Ohio0. Iowa plays one from that top 11 (Ohio) and then us at #22. Iowa State wasn't ranked when they beat you and won't be ranked in the near future once they hit conference play. Colorado>Iowa State but they won't meet up on the field. Washington isn't on equal footing as Michigan since Washington was depleted of players and coaching staff more so than Michigan and Michigan whoop Washington.
So tell me why you have a tougher schedule then if none of it matters till the end? You got this going by making the statement Iowa had the tougher schedule. What rules would you like us to follow?
