    Default 2022 FCS Strength of Schedule

    Haley rates our SoS this year as #109 in FCS.
    Hard to see how that's possible playing in MVFC, guess we should go undefeated?

    Based on winning percentage means nothing

    That article is a waste of electrons. The difference between the top and bottom conferences in the FCS is huge just like in the FBS and nobody would compare W-L records in the SEC to the MAC.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Regardless of its merit, isn't this the same SOS calculation that is a component of the NCAA SRS score?

    I'm thinking Haley screwed up the calculation, since we've always had a top SRS score.
    The committee looks at SRS, the years where we've been a little lower, I don't believe we got the top seed.

    Que the FCS forever crowd quivering in awe and reverence at the sheer strength and power of the FCS! Remember, there are 25 teams in the top 25 this year! TWENTY FIVE OF EM!
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    It's worse than that, brother. Sometimes there are 26 teams in the top 25 because of a tie in the voting at position 25. FCS is being watered down!

    Basing SoS on win percentage of opponents is a totally D2 move though.

    Well we do not play NDSU so that hits our SOS rankings.

    NDSU is the lowest-ranked team in the MVFC according to story linked in the original post. LOL
