Most Difficult Schedule for 2016

[cloverleaf]

Which team has the most difficult schedule for the coming season.

Alabama, Auburn, BYU, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Stanford, USC, Wisconsin

If you believe another team qualifies....tell us who.

SOUTHERN CAL would get my vote for having the toughest schedule. They open with
Alabama and close with Notre Dame with a strong Pac 12 schedule in between.

Alabama (Tx), Utah State, @Stanford, @Utah, Arizona State, Colorado,
@Arizona, California, Oregon, @Washington, @UCLA, Notre Dame

The Trojans miss Oregon State and Washington State in conference play.

This is a brutal schedule; If they were to end up with one loss (a big "if"), they would be solid contenders to win a National Championship.
Because of their schedule, they will NOT be one of my selected teams in the "final four" contest.

I would say Wisconsin has the toughest. They open with LSU, who I think could have the best team in the country this season. Then they have to play the 5 best teams in the Big 10 Michigan, MSU, tOSU, Nebraska and Iowa...All back to back!

Mack, if you are referring to the final four offer I made you....there was a deadline of May 31 for any picks.

I agree GS the Badgers face one hell of a string. I have them in my top 5.

Okla has a tough schedule too.

Okla has a tough schedule too.

I think the winner of the Big 12 is going to have 2 losses and keep them out of the playoff. Which brings the Pac-12 back in the picture, even though I don't see any of their teams with less than 2 losses this year either. We also could see a non-power 5 team for the first time in the playoff...

gotta be USCw

USC Non-Conference: Alabama (N), Utah State, Notre Dame
South Home: Arizona State, Colorado
South Road: Arizona, Utah, UCLA
Crossover: at Stanford, Cal, Oregon, at Washington

I m aware of that "May 31st" dead-line Clover, besides, I have too much respect for you and I have too much pride
to have accepted such a generous offer you made me (ha)....I was thinking of the yet-to-come "contest".

I know we have some damn good "cappers" here it the Rx Football Forum but it's going to take one helluva a shinny "crystal ball" to pick the final (4) and the eventual N/C this year.

Thanks my friend...........

You have another offer on the table if you choose to..........

yeah that's why i tossed Boise St in my playoff 4. if they can stop raping co-eds they have a very good shot at going unbeaten at 13-0

Who do you Oklahoma having 2 losses too? I can't see it...

Aside from Oregon who's had their way against USC, they get Stanford. Utah and UDub
on the road. USC will be doing fine if they can win 2 of those. They are lucky not to get
OSU who has pretty much owned them in Corvallis and Leach who has been coming on
strong in Pullman.

wisky is not going to be as good as last season to begin with and the teams mentioned there is one decent one and one that can surprise.Michigan is the decent one and Michigan St may be a surprise,.....Ohio st has lost a very lot and even though they have decent talent on board i think they are a year away,...Nebraska is down and not very good either,they were not a good team last year going 6-7,Iowa is no special power either,so wisky to me and thats only to me does not have the hardest schedule

Wisconsin will be a better team this year than they were a year ago. Their record will not reflect that but they will be an improved team.
