Why do you have Syracuse as the overall Number 1 seed and not UK?

Currently, Syracuse has played a much better schedule and has double the number of wins against teams under consideration. UK's schedule is about to improve dramatically, however, so these positions could easily flip-flop. In the meantime, the only reason Kentucky is No. 1 in the polls is the timing of its one loss vs. the timing of Cuse's loss, and seeds are rarely awarded that way.

How is it that Syracuse has played a "much better" schedule than UK. Kentucky has two wins better wins than anything the Cuse has. I know they have beaten more of those 50-100 type teams, but Florida is their best win.

Current SOS rankings are as follows: Syracuse (No. 14) and Kentucky (No. 70). Don't shoot the messenger.
Not sure how they calculate strength of schedule but I'm surprised that Kentucky's games vs KU, UNC, Indiana, and L'ville aren't worth more.
