Title: MU Best Ever SoS?
Post by: Not A Serious Person on January 23, 2022, 02:28:18 AM
Per Kenpom's Strength of Schedule Ranking

https://kenpom.com/index.php?s=RankSOS

Season to date MU's schedule is the 7th hardest in the country.  This is slightly ahead of the hardest ever MU schedule in 2011 at 9.

Does conference matter?  See the jump the schedule strength took in 2006 when MU left Conference USA for the Big East.

Speaking of Conference, here are the top of the Big East teams by SoS

Nova = 2
Butler = 4
MU = 7
The Hall = 9

2022 = 7 (season to date)
2021 = 44
2020 = 20
2019 = 57
2018 = 24
2017 = 37
2016 = 75
2015 = 15
2014 = 41
2013 = 13
2012 = 20
2011 = 9
2010 = 23
2009 = 41
2008 = 32
2007 = 50

Our strength of schedule might be 4, if we lost as many games as Butler.

Must be close to toughest SOS in a while. Wonder what it is projected forward.

We have two games remaining with Butler and two with St Johns - so no doubt it will go down. But overall it will remain among our most difficult.

To your point, typically DePaul tops the conference only SoS because they have to play the toughest teams in the Big East but don't get two games against Depaul!

So by the end of the season. look for the worst teams in the BE SoS to move up a lot.
