In no way am I agreeing with the original post here saying the schedule is too tough. But I don't think it's fair to say it sucks either (that's probably a more ludicrous statement than saying it's too hard). According to ESPN's way too early 25 (for whatever that is worth), we have the #11, 12, 15, 17, and 18 teams on the schedule, two of which are on the road (with V Tech being a very tough place to play at). I assume all 5 of those teams will be preseason ranked. Sure, there are some other easier games on the schedule, but that should be expected. Remember, Bama gets Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, and The Citadel! And I'm sure at least 1 or 2 of those SEC games will turn out to be garbage teams, too (like 2017 SEC winless Tennessee?). Plus, back to our schedule ... Northwestern did win 10 games and finished ranked this year.

Overall, I think we have a just fine schedule next year. I can't see how anyone can complain about it on either side.
