ARGH 2000 Final Preseason Schedule Ratings!

The following are the pre-season ARGH strength of schedule ratings for 2000. These rankings are based on the Preseason 2000 ARGH Power Ratings

There are two seperate schedule rankings below:

The table on the left represents the rating and ranking of the school's overall schedule. Teams in good conferences will always rank higher on this list when overall schedules are ranked, simply because most of the games are against teams in a good conference. In general, a bad team will play a tougher schedule than a good team in the same conference.
The table on the right represents the ranking of the school's schedule against non-conference opponents. This ranking represents the part of the school's schedule that they had control over; in other words, a team with a tough non-conference schedule is willing to take a challenge, while a team with a weak non-conference schedule is probably eager to duck one. Independent teams' non-conference schedule ratings are based on games against teams that are not Division 1-A Independents.
