The Oregon Ducks Football team is ranked second, behind only Georgia, in the ESPN College Football Power Index (FPI). However, their strength of schedule (SOS) checks in at number 30 nationally and 11th hardest in the Big Ten Conference.
football has always been measured by wins and losses, the changes to college football add a whole different level of detail to the ratings and rankings.
FPI is a predictive rating system created to measure team strength and project performance going forward. This is not a ranking of teams, but rather a way to correctly predict games and season outcomes.Per the FPI, Oregon’s win/loss record is projected to be 10.8-11.8. The estimated percentage of winning all remaining games is 15.
Counting wins and losses is simple, but the bigger question is what defines a quality schedule. While the expansion of thewill offer more chances for a team to be selected, playing a quality schedule is just as important as ever. Keep in mind that not all wins are created equal. A team might play an opponent that has a relatively small number of wins, but those victories were against highly ranked teams. The reverse is also true.
