In terms of practical team development, this schedule is fine.   We are going to have enough tough games to test us.  (houston, Kansas, "x", Tennessee)  It would  have been nice to have one middleweight (#100-#150) type school before jumping into Houston , a Q3 type game,  but it is what it is. (for NET reasons P5 schools avoid Q3 games in OOC)    I would have also liked one tougher opponent between Tennessee on the 2nd and Clemson on the 31st but its not the end of the world.

In terms of numbers, This would have been a brutal schedule under the old RPI.   As evidenced by the fact that our current live RPI is #282.  Then again we would not have had this schedule if the RPI was still the measuring tool.

Playing teams like this is fine under NET as long as you are beating them by at least 25 points.. above that and you start gaining ground.   If you plan on beating them by 7 total points over 3 games like we did last year NET will destroy you.   And last year it wasn't a choice not to blow up the score.
