Regarding SOS, it seems to me you have to actually beat somebody good to be ranked as high as 26th like USC is? Didn't Galloway say over and over and over again you have to win the game?

It's funny how Miami with 2 losses is ahead of ND regarding SOS, they still got snubbed over Bama and didn't seem to be in the playoff equation.

Oops... I ditched that a few weeks ago when I added The Athletic rankings.
Let me update that while the website still lets me edit my original post.

Edit: Strength of Schedule statistics have been updated.
