Here is a look at how divisions, conferences, and Iowa and Iowa State's schedules compare per Sagain.....
By Division....
84.69 SEC-WEST (Avg team in the conference = 16th in the country.)
79.14 BIG-12 (Avg = 33rd)
79.09 PAC-12 SOUTH (Avg = 33rd)
77.62 PAC-12 NORTH (Avg = 42nd)
76.89 ACC COASTAL (Avg = 45th)
76.85 SEC-EAST (Avg = 46th)
76.31 BIG TEN EAST (Avg = 46th)
75.44 ACC ATLANTIC (Avg = 47th)
74.88 BIG TEN WEST(Avg =50th
By Conference.....
80.77 SEC (Avg = 27th)
79.14 BIG-12 (Avg = 33rd)
78.35 PAC-12 (Avg = 36th)
76.15 ACC (Avg = 46th)
75.60 BIG TEN (Avg = 47th)
79.06 ISU schedule (Avg = 31st)
80.33 ISU conference schedule (Avg = 28th)
68.6 IOWA schedule (Avg = 70th)
70.17 IOWA conference schedule (Avg = 65th)
Notes:
Iowa and Iowa State's average ranking is not the SOS ranking, rather it is the ranking of Iowa State's respective opponents as a whole compared to P5 conferences as a whole.
Iowa State's SOS season long ranking is projected to be 1st or 2nd in the country, neck and neck with Texas. Tennessee and Arkansas are close behind.
Iowa's SOS season long ranking is projected to be 55th in the country.
The Big-12 is the only conference that plays a round robin schedule, therefore only the Big-12 conference rating approximates the conference schedule rating (less your own team) of its teams.
Note the observable falloff between the top three conferences that are reasonably close to each other, and the bottom two.
The SEC West is insane...5 of 7 teams are power ranked in the top-25, all seven are top-50.
