Football Strength of Schedule

Over at NationalChamps.net, guess who they have listed as the #2 SOS in the country this fall? None other than GT, only behind Arkansas. Link here. Here's what they had to say about the ACC:

With the ACC only one year removed from becoming a 12-team conference (Boston College joins in 2005), the current 11-team version already demonstrates why the ACC is the toughest it's ever been throughout the league's history. All but two ACC teams (nine) dot our SOS Top 25 for 2004 - the most of any conference. Of course, this only makes sense considering five ACC teams sit in the Top 20 Preview rankings. We find it quite amazing that teams such as NC State and Georgia Tech, while being ranked in the Top 40, are being predicted to finish in the bottom half of the pack. But it's more than that...the ACC has managed to keep the non-conference slates full of big time opponents such as Florida, Georgia, Ohio State and USC
This site had GT at #7 in the nation SOS last season.
