It's the offseason so let's discuss schedules. ESPN Stats & Info has published an article ranking the relative strengths each FBS team's non-conference schedule over the next five years. The actual article is behind a paywall so I'm not going to link to it but here's a CFT post discussing it: http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.co ... ive-years/. Below are the Top 10 toughest schedules followed by the Bottom 10. You'll notice there are three Pac 12 teams in the top 4, but not a single SEC team in the top 10. Conversely, there is only one Pac 12 team in the bottom ten and three SEC teams.
