FSU Strength of Schedule

FSU has wins over three current teams in the top 25 and another win over a Duke team that was ranked before FSU knocked their QB out for several games.

I was curious what a mashup of Resume SP+ and Strength of Record would have to say about the top 7. Not quite what I expected:

1. Michigan (13-0)
2. Florida State (13-0)
3. Washington (13-0)
4. Ohio State (11-1)
5. Alabama (12-1)
6. Georgia (12-1)
7. Texas (12-1)

SP+ isn’t the end all be all of advanced metrics, but it’s not like Jordan Travis got hurt last night. FSU has won three games without him at QB. One SEC team and a team ranked No. 14 nationally. At the end of the day, it’s about winning, no matter how it looks.
