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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.
