Purple & Gold's SoCon Strength of Schedule Rankings


Taking a look at the SoCon football's strength of schedule (SOS) hinges on each team's out of conference (OOC) games.

Since 2015 is restricted to an eleven game schedule, each Southern Conference team can schedule up to four (4)  OOC games, given that each team will play a seven (7) game conference schedule.
