I'd disagree with you TTwarrior.
Here is each team's schedule and their opponents by week. The SP+ columns for each team is the Bill Connelly (ESPN SP+) rating system for each opponent. A larger postive number is a better team. The more negative the worse they are.
S. Alabama played a much harder general in terms of opponents.
S. Ala avg opponent rating -4.9
W. Kent -8.7 (even if you threw out their 2 worst opponents Hawaii, Fla Int they'd still be at -5.4 avg)
