somehow, playing an SEC schedule with uga and bama on the road doesnt even crack the top 25

Steele has lost his touch. LSU is USC’s toughest opponent, and yet they’re ranked 3?

Fair SOS rankings would have the SEC 1-16.

If UF has a losing season this year, it will tie their longest consecutive losing season streak in the history of their program.

Unless Napier pulls off a miracle, I don’t think he’ll finish the season.
The second half of their schedule is brutal. Even if they start 5-0, I don’t think they’ll have the depth to finish with a winning record.

List is shite. Auburn not even in the top 25 when it's a top 10 tough schedule

Agree - you face UGA, Bama and New Mexico

Apparently this is tougher than half the SEC schedules next season. That's effectively 1 FCS and 4 mid-majors on there, tougher than half of SEC schedules
Every single SEC team would happily trade their schedule for that one.

Haven't we been top-10 in other lists already?

Auburn gets no respect because it is a dirty program.

there's absolutely no way our (FSU) schedule is the 12th hardest in the country. November road trip to fringe top 10 Notre Dame, home game against maybe top-15ish Clemson, "road" game against perpetually overrated Miami, road game against fringe top 25 SMU, and a home game against Florida who is going to be beaten down by the time they come to Doak. Then the rest of your normally scheduled ACC programming + a decent Memphis squad and a rent-a-win. No way that is a top 12 difficult schedule.

What a joke. I agree with Thunderbird about BYU schedule.
Even worse is the Stanford schedule,……number 10! Any SEC team except Vandy would take that schedule, and could suffer two losses (ND and Clemson) and be in the playoffs.

Sounds like you're bracing for 7-5.

Bracing? That's an improvement

Makes sense. The top 3 have auto-losses against LSU.
