Are you up the opinion that preseason schedule strength readings or a bit inaccurate? For example if Nebraska were to win eight games the season and Wisconsin or Northwestern only win six games, is our schedule still tough or is anyone else’s that much weaker. Let’s look at it at the end of the year. I would think any team in the SEC west would have just as difficult schedule as Nebraska. They will all play Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M. 5 of the 7 teams are ranked in some preseason top 25, draw Florida or Georgia from the East and that is ridiculous.
Given a choice, with Ohio St and Alabama being a wash, I would rather play Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin than LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn, (Ole Miss, Miss St or Arkansas)
