TOP 25 COMPARISON (talent-only based vs SOS factored in)

based only on our perception of how "good" teams arealso factoring in strength of schedule to pre-drop some teams that will naturally fall in our system over the course of the season given that playing weaker teams drags a team's rating down*

*Please note that teams are now being pre-dropped as explained above in order to slot them the way we prefer for our official pre-season ratings.  However, it is important to understand that this "pre-drop" is eliminated once a team's season gets underway.  Once they start playing, their season-to-date SOS is used by our system as opposed to the full-season SOS.  [Note: last season's schedule strength is used as a place-holder to pre-drop teams if we have not yet collected their 2020 schedule.]
