hwee are Sagarin's latest week strength of schedule movements for the unbeaten teams, since his algorhythm has carved out a tabular niche among college football watchers.
And, to repeat, winning cures everything, even tho 12-0 still seems like voodoo math to someone who suffered thru UCLA at 3-9 last year:
MIA went from a #58 SOS to #35, courtesy of a road matchup with #4 ranked at the time ND;
Utah barely budged despite hosting the #7 ranked at the time BYU-ers, going from a #60 SOS to #57; and
ditto for the Good Guys, improving only modestly from a #61 SOS to #58, after dispatching the #32 ranked Minny team at the time.
What does it all mean? ------>>> just beat the travellin' 6-3 Illini 'band', winners of 4 straight (albeit those 4 B10 opponents have a cumulative Conference record of 8 gms under .500), but with 1 less prep day pinned to a cross country trek.
