schedules would play right into having a SOS that only changes based on team results.

For instance the POLLSTERS thought they knew who would be good in the BigXII, but it was completely upside down. The SOS however would be adjusting week to week based on games played. And since the computer would be picking teams like Alabama to play a UNLV or SMU before the season started instead of Mercer, suddenly they aren't resting players but forced to play a stronger schedule.
