The regular SOS only takes into account the win/loss records of opponents so it's easy to game
Bruce Rasmussen, selection committee chairman and Creighton athletic director
Dirk is correct in stating that the non-conference SOS has its flaws. It only takes into account the won-lost records of who you played, not where you played the game, not the outcome of the game, and most importantly, not the strength of the team you played. For instance, for non-conference SOS purposes, a game at home against 9-6 Penn has a more positive impact on non-conference SOS than a game on the road against 7-5 Indiana because winning 9/15 games is a better decimal than winning 7/12.
Non-conference SOS is not a predominant tool in selections.
