# Strength of Schedule **Strength of Schedule (SOS)** is a metric that measures the difficulty of a team's opponents, typically calculated as the combined winning percentage of all teams they have played or will play. ## Basic Formula **SOS = Total wins by opponents / Total games played by opponents** Or equivalently: **Average winning percentage of opponents** --- ## Worked Example **Team A's schedule:** - Opponent 1: 7-3 record (0.700 win%) - Opponent 2: 5-5 record (0.500 win%) - Opponent 3: 3-7 record (0.300 win%) - Opponent 4: 6-4 record (0.600 win%) **Calculation:** SOS = (0.700 + 0.500 + 0.300 + 0.600) / 4 = **0.525** **Interpretation:** Team A's strength of schedule is 0.525, meaning their opponents have won 52.5% of their games on average. This represents a moderately difficult schedule (above the baseline of 0.500). --- *Note: A higher SOS indicates a tougher schedule. This metric is commonly used in sports rankings, playoff seeding, and comparing teams across different divisions or conferences.*
