Toughest Schedule
Just taking a teams opposition records doesn't mean squat.
Everyone here knows that Tech doesn't play the toughest schedule, please. Maybe by that little formula but if you [censored] around with numbers long enough you can make anything look impressive.
On another note, they will completely dominate Kansas in their bowl game against Kansas. NO way Kansas should even be their in the first place. They did not beat anybody this year worth a squat and have not faced a defense like VT's.
it's obviously not just the opposition records...other teams have W-L records in the 80's but aren't higher than VT
edit: nvm, didn't see that those teams were already done with their season
Some teams have less games than others only because it only counts when you play Division 1 or FBS teams. It doesn't include when you play formerly D1-AA teams, only inter-division.
So if you included the fact that they played W&M who went 6-6 that would knock the first number down to .59 and knock them down a couple of more notches.
Anyway, wasn't trying to start something just when someone states that their team has the toughest schedule in the NCAA when you have William and Mary on the schedule is a joke.
no...what's a joke is ppl saying VT has a cupcake schedule...all the numbers from all the experts say otherwise
Don't get me wrong, I agree that teams need a couple of gimme games thru the year, that is fine. But, when you schedule 1-AA teams year in and year out I don't think you can say they have the toughest.
That little link only included Div 1 teams and didn't penalize teams for scheduling those teams which I feel is unfair.
Its helping VT that they are playing Kansas who has a great looking record. It doesn't matter that they have played a cake schedule either apparently. All this is taking is the records, plus the upcoming bowl teams records to give the percentage. It only computes numbers, not the strength of the teams they are actually playing. VT played 1 good team all year, and other than that, the rest were just average or worse. That doesnt mean Tech had a tough schedule just because this computation shows them in the 1 spot.

Fixed
now if only you could do the same to that deformed crater you call a face
You must have me mistaken for someone else, I have no idea where you got that one from, maybe I need to go buy you some more straws. And why would I have to do the same, noone on here has ever made an arguement that my team doesnt play anyone. The U has lost more big games than VT has ever played in. I didnt even have to say anything. UT2 lifted up your skirt to make you cry like you always do.
no...it was definitely your ogre-lookin self
no crying here...
and you're right, no one said anything about miami, but you like to jump in anytime i post, i dunno maybe i took your girl at some point, who knows what got your panties in a wad
dude my face is as clear and round as it gets. I might get a pimple once every 4 months. Youve lost it.
Right, noone said anything about Miami because they actually have teams like UF, Ohio State, Oklahoma, etc on their schedule in the next couple of years. You have to play the big time programs. Nooone gives a damn if you beat Kansas. They wanted to see VT play OU or Georgia. When you beat teams like that you get respect. Not by posting a tweaked out stat on a message board at 2 am on a saturday night. My favorite basketball squad has the #1 RPI in the land right now and they arent going to win shat nor are they even that great. Stats are for fans of teams that dont win. PERIOD.
I have now searched about 10 different versions of the SOS from different sources, si.com, espn, fox, and a few other places and not 1 had VT even near the top of the list in SOS. Most were in the 50 range. Maybe the guy who did the one you posted was on a little crack, mary jane, loratabs, PCP, etc but that thing is no where near close.
im not hyping Kansas, I wanted to see VT play OU, or anyone else for that matter, as well
my point remains valid...at the end of the year, VT opponents will have won more games than any other teams opponents...now that doesn't mean they've played the toughest schedule, but it certainly doesn't mean it was easy or cupcake (the ONLY point i'm refuting)
ok man, you win, youre always right of course.
Big East Schedule = JOKE...I don't care which team ya pick...Miami and FSU have respect cuz they earned it over the years...and all VT has done over the years is earned the nickname "CHOKIES"..lol..VT my a$$.
