Ah yes ... the neutral site in Atlanta, Georgia.BTW, we are @UGA and @Alabama within 3 weeks and play Washington at a "neutral" site. I expect that our ranking in this will move up during the season.

That's a sign of a true fan.Something tells me OD would still find a way to pump that Oregon sunshine. Even if all of that did actually happen.

I don’t put huge weight on home or away. The in division schedules are essentially the same. So let’s look at the differencesDuke projects to be significantly better than Colorado. Either way Northwestern's is tougher, albeit slightly, IMO.

OOC
ND > Colorado
Duke > Troy
Akron = Akron
Conference
MSU = MSU
Michigan = Michigan
Nebraska < Northwestern
Rutgers <<<<<<< Ohio State
I’d give the slight edge to Nebraska.
Easiest:
1. Oregon
2. Wisconsin
3. Arizona
4. Minnesota
5. Washington State
Toughest:
1. UCLA
2. Florida State
3. Pittsburgh
4. Northwestern
5. LSU
According to FPI.
I'm not sure how Michigan's schedule doesn't make the top 5. We play @OSU, @MSU, @Notre Dame and also play PSU and Wisconsin. By most pre-season polls, that's 3 top 10 teams and ALL in the top 15 or so. That's pretty darn rough.

This! Thus the futility of such rankings. Some teams opponents are going to be a hell of a lot better than predicted, some a hell of a lot worse. Who really expected Sparty and ND to be so bad a couple of seasons ago? No one saw those coming from teams that are normally much better than they showed.BTW, we are @UGA and @Alabama within 3 weeks and play Washington at a "neutral" site. I expect that our ranking in this will move up during the season.
LMAO....a Corn Aggie calling out Nederwestern and Birdeyes cupcakes! Gotta love it Well done.Nebraska

im confused. people talking about easy pac 12 schedules but the FPI and Oregon having the easiest of all P5 teams butYep, we'll see how it plays out with all the projected easy Pac 12 schedules. Bowling Green and Portland State could turn out be good.
thats not how it works.I would be curious as to how many P5 teams had an opening after Texas A&M scheduled Clemson. That'd be a lot of research, but I do know there are like 30 P5 teams with an opening in 2022, which is 4 years out, which is how much notice Oregon was given by A&M.
I defended the fuskies having Rutgers on there and how both teams were near even when they scheduled it.And there isn't one Oregon fan that backed us when ours was full of turds after Wisky pulled out so why on earth are you willing to give them a free pass? It's the fucking ducks. Another example of why I don't believe you are a real and true dawg.
Fuck the ducks and their lame ass schedule.

UW #6
Stanford #13
USC #15
Oregon #23
am i reading/understanding FPI wrong?
Not to mention Oregon State.Oregon can't play themselves and they don't play USC, at least in the regular season. And Oregon is dragged down significantly for what has to be the worst P5 OOC schedule.
lemmie make sure i got this rightNorthwestern is tougher than Nebraska's? No WAY

but how are they #23 on FPI but somehow considered the easiest of P5 schedules?Oregon can't play themselves and they don't play USC, at least in the regular season. And Oregon is dragged down significantly for what has to be the worst P5 OOC schedule.
