Projected NCAAF Strength of Schedules

Now that I've calculated my new preseason NCAAF rankings, I can project some things about the upcoming season. I projected each team's strength of schedule (SOS) based on each opponent they'll face this year. FCS teams are taken into account, and are designated a uniform ranking of 0.100 (so the SOS of teams like North Carolina who play 2 FCS teams fall quite a bit). Charlotte is not included in the following rankings, since their page is not yet live on College Football-Reference (where I pull my data from). As you'll see, the top is littered with Big 10, SEC, and Pac-12 teams:
