I haven't thought too much about the formula..., but I was aware that opponents performance was a strong element. After thinking about a little more .... I have the following additional thoughts:

-Strong schools may/will be reluctant to schedule weaker schools; and

-if weaker conference schools (like mine right now) have difficulty scheduling stronger opponents..., not only will they need to win against weak out-of-conference opponents..., they'll need to win against conference opponents in order to conclude a season with a respectable w-l record... and then be able to appear more marketable to schedule stronger opponents the following season(s).

DOH!!!
