Now that we have a pretty good idea of our roster and our opponents, let’s rank our games in 2025 from least to most difficult! Here is what I got, chime in at your leisure:

Colgate
U Conn
UNC
BC
Pitt
Duke
Ga Tech
SMU
Miami
Tennessee
Clemson
ND

There's an interesting pattern to your rankings.

I know home games are generally supposed to be easier than non-home games but yikes.

It’s just one guys opinion but Klatt has ND and Clemson in his top 5 and Miami around 15 if I remember correctly

He has PSU #1 because they fixed WR

Yeah, the away is a wee bit loaded so I went that way

 

[GoSU96]

Wow just saw UVAs schedule. Easy

You know, when you list it like that, I feel better about our chances of making a bowl game again this year.

You get more than halfway through the schedule before you start asking, "that's a tough game; where are we going to get any more wins".

I took it as "location neutral", just who looks like the better teams.

Which makes it worse.

Well, yes, reality bites. He was just trying to give us a reason for some hope looking at the schedule. I still think it's important that we find 6 or 7 wins and make a bowl against this absolute gauntlet. I said it before, if we can somehow find 8 wins, Fran will be unstoppable.

There's a failure of imagination on this board. This isn't Dino Babers team where we win against the teams we're better than and hope to steal one and make a bowl. Paul Finebaum is going to have to talk Tennessee fans off the ledge after what happens in Atlanta. ND and Clemson are going to be afraid of us. We're going to mess up their season. SMU... welcome to the ACC... you're going to get beatdown at home. Belechick's going to get outcoached on Halloween next to girlfriend and co-offensive coordinator in her sl-tty nurse costume.

I just hope people have a little more patience this season.

Hopefully Tennessee and UCLA trading QBs will help kick things off right.
