At least, according to USA Today. Wisconsin, Florida, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Syracuse, LSU, and then the Good Guys at #7. Last three are UCLA, the Ohio State U and South Carolina.

Who has the toughest college football schedules? We ranked the 10 most difficult

Seems extremely dubious to me. Last year we were #37. The ACC is not good. This strikes me as a list that generically gives us credit for being in a “power” conference and then sees Notre Dame, BYU, and no FCS opponents and assumes that’s a really tough schedule. No. The ACC is not good. And we don’t even play Clemson, Louisville, or Georgia Tech. Our schedule may end up being not tough at all (winning games is a different question) and may even be easy by our historical standards.

I found it on the Internet, so it must be true.

Don’t say this often but I think Sports Illustrated may end up closest to the mark.

the 85th from Teamranking looks like a team ranking not a SOS ranking. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Indeed.
