Agree - what kills me is the people that complain about teams not playing anyone

Those same media members then turn around and reward those same schools for playing an easy schedule.

The schools thus get an artificial boost to their preseason ranking by virtue of playing a bad schedule whereas they should probably start lower.

If PSU had Michigan's schedule, would it even be ranked preseason

- Yep. PSU could be horrible this year and go 9-3.* - By LS&Play August 25, 2026 at 03:48:54 PM
  - Notre Dame plays an insanely weak schedule. Embarrasingly so. To Hell with Notre Dame. * - By Spirit August 25, 2026 at 04:15:44 PM
    - ND 9-3 this year should be a Freeman firing. Worst schedule I’ve ever seen.* - By LS&Play August 25, 2026 at 04:21:10 PM

        Double digit favorite at home. They don’t have a single digit spread all year unless BYU overperforms in a big way.* - By LS&Play August 25, 2026 at 04:33:44 PM
