  Out of all teams that have ever went to the BCS title game, Oregon has had the easiest road. Here is the list to all teams for all BCS title games and their SOS.

  Interesting that it mentioned the team with the tougher road to the game is 5-7 in the game. So maybe bet on the Ducks?

  That is interesting. Its also pretty funny how FSU's 3 NC teams are in the top 5 and OSU's are in the bottom 6 yet they both are 1-2 in NC games. I'd say it really doesn't matter about the path someone took to get there because normally the better team has always won.

  This is a good point. Strength of Schedule may be helpful in determining who is "more deserving" to play, but it isn't helpful in determining who is more likely to win. E.g., stick the Patriots in the MAC and then roll through undefeated. They may not be deserving of playing for the BCS title, but this doesn't mean they wouldn't smoke the opposition.
