Another SOS stat:

Number of seasons in the past 14 years (since 2010) in which each team only faced one, lone (or fewer) Final AP Top 10 opponent:

6- Oklahoma
5- Kentucky, S Carolina, Texas A&M
4- Vanderbilt
3- Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss
2- Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, Texas
1- Florida, Miss St, Tennessee
0- Auburn

In 43% of each and every recent football season, the Oklahoma Sooners have been able to face a favorable schedule that included only a single Top 10 opponent…. The 2010 team actually played zero. Meanwhile Auburn never once faced a schedule like that during the same period of time.

Again, when taking these things into account, I’m not too impressed with some of these 10 win seasons.

I think something like more than a quarter of OU’s total football wins come against three programs with all-time losing records. Let me double check that statistic.

Edit to show my math and that I am correct:

OU has 944 total wins
80 against Iowa State
77 against Kansas State
80 against Kansas
.2510 of OU’s wins come against these three schools, all of which have all-time losing records

OU is still a true blue blood, of course.

I am sorry you had to play Alabama and Georgia every year. But if you had beaten them, then you would have been the team ranked in the top ten at the end of the year and not them.

Over the last ten years, Auburn has really hurt a lot of teams strength of schedule.
