I just think when you have 2 completely different schedules, it's almost irrelevant. I also think SOS, especially at this point, is a little bit of a red herring. There's really no difference between playing the #100 team at home vs the #200 team; you're going to win either one. I can't put too much stock in the records. And I am always willing to cut some slack to teams that challenge themselves.

UNC has definitely played more games where they even could've lost. The 4 toughest games either team has played have been UNC: @UK, Wisconsin, @UNLV, and Michigan State.

On another note, I have kind of been unimpressed with Lousville, at least as a top 5 or so team. I watched them struggle to beat Ohio at home, in a game where they losing late, I saw them struggle to beat Vandy at home when Vandy was without Ezeli. I dunno.  Louisville hasn't lost to an unranked team, but they also haven't played an NCAA tournament team (unless you think Butler is going to turn it around) on the road yet.  UNC has played 3 road/neutral games vs NCAA tournament teams.   So would you think UNC was a better team if t hey hadn't played Kentucky and UNLV and just scheduled a couple of cupcakes?
