Stumbled across this little write up on SOS based on ESPN’s FPI.

39. Washington State

40. TCU

43. Washington

46. Oregon

48. Arizona

50. Colorado

79. Boise State

80. Utah State

Yeah, our schedule is ridiculous. Early bye game, and no OSU and Cal. 

That being said, I think OSU is a lot tougher this year than they are giving us credit for. It sucks that we get Arizona so early. I’d rather play them later when ARod has quit and the rest of the team has checked out.

Yep, I’ve got OSU being bowl eligible this year and having most of their losses come down to the wire.

Our only hope for a lighter schedule is to have the AZ schools struggle again along with UCLA and then hope that Colorado falls down a peg or two with the talent they lost and a new DC. But even if all of that happens, we will still have a top 25 schedule.
