Pro: These rankings are the best for predicting future outcomes.

Retro: These rankings rank teams based on what they have actually accomplished during the season.  These are currently based on the 2012 season.

SOS: Is strength of schedule. 1 is the most difficult schedule and 32 is the easiest.  The SOS numbers are messed up prior to week 11.  I will try to go back and fix the previous weeks, if I have some free time.
