Weekend Rooting Guide - Opponents'
Opponents
by Matthew McKinley
The BCS formula for Strength of Schedule (SOS) includes the winning percentages of a team’s opponents and their
opponents’ opponents as well. So the team that Pitt played back in Week 3 (South Florida) needs to keep winning. In
order to know who to root for, you have to know who each of your opponents has or will have played. So the following is
a list of the teams that Virginia Tech opponents have played, grouped by the number of times each has appeared on Tech
Opponents’ schedules, and who they played. (Division 1-AA teams are in italics, teams that also appear on Tech’s
schedule are preceded by an @.)
