Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2503665, member: 6927"] Sagarin and Massey have very different methods for calculating SOS. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but such discrepancies are not too uncommon. For Pat Summitt their strength of schedule was always a boasting point, and their fans parroted her boasting ad nauseum. But now, after suffering through consecutive seasons with double-digit losses, I think they're just so giddy about winning games again they barely care about the schedule. You're right about Oklahoma State being better than anyone expected, but both Texas and Marquette have been disappointments relative to expectations. Texas was ranked #2 in the preseason AP poll, and Marquette was ranked #17 but neither has played close to those rankings. [/QUOTE]
