I'm typically skeptical of Strength of Schedule ratings. However, at the moment our SoS is considered easy-to-average by every ranking system I can find.
ESPN FPI: 88
Sagarin: 63
Colley: 60
Massey: 67
The idea that somehow our schedule went from "perceived easy" to "very difficult" just isn't true. At worst it's average. But in reality it's still easier than any schedule this program has played in years and years.
Just looking at Sagarin our 6-3 record is decent compared to the P4 schools around us. Not sure what it proves but maybe winning is not easy?
