Pre-season SOS rankings

I realize this is about as useful as Pre-season team rankings but since it's the offseason, I thought it would help pass the time. Idaho and GaSt really drag down our SOS. If they could have managed to win 4 or 5 games a piece, especially the OOC match-ups, it could have put App in the top 90.

Interesting that ECU is only four slots ahead of us and UNC-C is ahead at all.

ECU not getting much credit in this system for playing Florida and Va. Tech since those teams were a combined 12-11 last year. Under this system, those games would be considered equally difficult as our game vs. ODU.
