Data source / methodology: This visualization is based on Brian Fremeau's drive-based, opponent-adjusted FEI ratings. Game locations (home/away/neutral) are factored into the strength of schedule calculations. In the drop-down menu, top-5 teams are considered 'Elite', teams ranked 20-25 are considered 'Good', and teams ranked 55-65 are considered 'Average'.
