No, I get how strength of schedule works; what I'm saying is that if all of the teams with winning records just happen to have a soft SOS, then maybe a soft SOS isn't the damning indictment you seem to be suggesting it is.
Well mathematically they will for sure have a slightly easier schedule because each of best teams can’t play themself. Boston will never play Boston.

SOS is kind of just worthless this year. West teams get the shaft, East teams get the cupcake schedule. Notice how every West team is in the top 15 and every East team is in the bottom 15. And I don't think our travel schedule has been easy at all, with 2 road B-B, an incredibly stupid ATL-TOR B-B and then back to Miami. Pretty sure we had a 5in 7 thrown in there too.
