Respectfully disagree, it does matter. Strength of schedule shows how the teams compete against other elite teams from ALL OVER the nation (not just LI where there is a comfort zone). Teams like turtles, terps black and trueblue (and once in a while, 91) play very tough schedules all the time. The players are truly challenged. Best play the best, to see if a team can "hang" or do you get "blownout".
