Our schedule ain't the SEC, but it's not as bad as some like to make it seem. Louisville and Nebraska on the road are legit, Arkansas State is really good mid-major, and Duke was undefeated and won the division last year.
So, I can see us having a top 30 schedule through the first 5 games. Not a gauntlet, but not cupcakes either.
Sagarins Strength of Schedule is 32nd. Another site has us at 14th.
Please stop embarrassing yourself by pointing to the difficulty of our schedule. We've played two decent teams and got smoked by both.
This sloppy win against a bad Duke team has some of you guys wonky.
People are going way overboard with the nonsense about us getting "smoked" by Nebraska. The had a grand total of 10 points more than us. A whopping 21 yards of offense more than we did. Three more first downs than we did (27 to 24). That was far from getting "smoked."
