I'm surprised that Ohio State is not in the easiest - their non-conference schedule is fairly pedestrian, 3 games against non-power 5 opponents at home. Amazing what having Notre Dame on your schedule does for your ranking because OSU and Michigan's are fairly the same with ND being the exception. Plus, Army had a pretty solid year last year but so did Cincinnati.

Ohio State's OOC schedule is pretty weak but Cincinnati, with Fickell at the helm and a roster full of Ohio kids who Ohio State didn't want, will provide a decent challenge until depth takes over.

How can anyone seriously rank schedules in May before any football interaction between teams ?

As CJ Hawkeye ( the all time most cerebral poster around here ) said ... all 0-0 records prior to any football played should have equal value...total polar opposite ideology to the mythical system.

"Equal Standing"... yes. "Equal Chance of winning" No.
And, it's pretty easy to project a schedule as WEAK when it's filled with FCS cupcakes.

Also marking a shift in UF scheduling strategy.
From 1992-2029, UF will have played ZERO non-conference true road games outside FL.
2029 @ Colorado
2030 @ Texas

I think GatorGrad and I should make reservations NOW.. and, pre-pay.
Texas has determined that their best strategy for getting to the CFP is to play at least one "power opponent" per year. It helps compensate for the weakness of the B12 schedule, and helps them overcome 1 bad conference loss, if it happens.
