For the record, I did see ESPN post a graphic giving UA the slight advantage of SOS, but the real problem is how/when do you measure the opponents.
UA beat FSU on opening weekend when FSU was #2, but finished no where near that.
The BIG 10 teams seem to always get slightly higher rankings so even though they struggle in bowls, the strength of schedule can be skewed by that.
Happy Festivus!

He said he's having a blast.

The Feb/Mar bid is being moved up. Should be late Dec to early Jan. Mostly widebody slots.

According to FB's "Top Men" contact, there will be a 350/narrowbody FO-only bid with no backfilling in Dec. But the JAN/FEB bid is moved to mid-Feb. Are you hearing something different?

That's halfway what he said. He said the 350 one moved up along with NB vacancies...The 777 and 330 stuff remains in Feb.

I disagree with your claim that Alabama had a tougher schedule and cited 2 references. There is no ESPN reference that I can find that claims Alabama had a tougher schedule. Alabama has a higher FPI ranking than OSU which you may be confusing with strength of schedule, but that is a different metric.
Alabama finished third in the conference.

Default In Command

Does anyone know the deadline for the company putting "In Command" on your schedule? Just today scheduling put this on my schedule for January.

I never received any heads up about this and did not bid golden days. It was not on my schedule when the bid package was released and I even have a PBS printout of my January calendar without the In Command scheduled.

Now it is scheduled exactly when I have a commitment. Is it a big deal to change the In-command? I could not find any reference to scheduling In command in the PWA.

Thanks Scoop

Anyone have the definitive list of all the incoming numbers Delta scheduling could assign a trip (or notify for GS)? Want to make sure my do-not-disturb exception list is correct. TIA
