I'll provide some more context behind the tracking (See Post #2 and #4 - I will try to keep that as the extent of my "theory posts" on this topic. See post #5 for what I will try to limit this thread to.
I have created a spreadsheet with various links, data pulls, that make it fairly easy to track - I just need to update the scores. I will be updating about 5 various tables as the season progresses related to OOC win%, margin , record against top 6 conferences, % of games by quad, and the summary table below.
Here are the initial results through the end of last night. Difficulty is based on Average KP for now (which I am using to approximate NET as they run under similar principles) until the NET first get released and I will replace that as the source.
The lower the "difficulty" number the harder the schedule The average KP is pretty high right now for everybody as leagues play cupcakes for the most part. 82% of games to date would be classified as Q4, if we equate KP to NET. Only 7% Q1, 1% Q2, 9% Q3, and 82% Q4. Until more games get played in the tougher quads not going to bother showing those.
Results to Date (about 15% of total OOC games played)
Lots of games to be played especially competitive ones instead of the largely cupcakes to date.
B10 has clearly the best in the short sample of games so far. Difficulty is about average, and they have a clear lead in margin.
Very early for the ACC. but I would suspect we are more in line with others at this point in 24 vs 23 and 22. But that is a guess. The ACC has played the easiest of the schedules, although for the most part they are all easy. 72% of ACC games are against bottom half Q4 Teams.

ACC, B12, and SEC are hanging close which is better than last year anyway. Would probably rank them as B12 #2, SEC #3 (despite the losses) then ACC #4, but they are close/
Real tough start for the Big East. They haven't played anybody above Q3 -- and their margins show a clear lag.
Only the MWC and Big East have lost two Q4 games.
I'm tracking the MWC because they have been relevant in # of bids the last few years. They had a great Q2 performance (W/L) wise last year. We will see how they do. Right now its not so good. That being said they had an impressive road win last night (New Mexico at UCLA)
