No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide
“Schedule rating: 5 out of 5. When Penn State comes to Tuscaloosa in September, a classic rivalry will be revived, and the SEC rotation will bring Florida to Bryant-Denny as well. Adding to a 24-game regular-season winning streak won’t be easy.”
No. 2 Oregon Ducks
“Schedule rating: 2. The Ducks get a trip to Tennessee on September 11 against a new Vols quarterback, and the PAC-10 schedule sets up well. USC and Oregon State are critical road games.”
No. 3 Ohio State Buckeye’s
“Schedule rating: 3. A home win over Miami would go a long way in strengthening the Buckeyes’ schedule in the computer polls. So will games against Big Ten heavies Wisconsin, Iowa and Penn State.”
No. 4 Boise State Bronco’s
“Schedule rating: 1. Give the Broncos credit: They’re trying to upgrade the schedule, traveling cross-country to play Virginia Tech at FedEx Field in Washington D.C. Win that one, and a home game against Oregon State, and an unbeaten season could translate to a spot in the national championship game.”
No. 5 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
“Schedule rating: 4. Georgia Tech hasn’t separated itself from the rest of the ACC enough to expect upper-tier league games to be gimmes, and non-conference road games against Kansas and Georgia will be tough.”
No. 6 Miami Hurricanes
“Schedule rating: 5. A prove-it year for coach Randy Shannon includes non-conference games at Ohio State and Pitt and meetings with the rest of the top half of the ACC .”
No. 7 Florida Gators
“Schedule rating: 2. The Gators have to travel to Tuscaloosa, but until rival Florida State truly rebounds, the non-conference schedule will be annually awful.”
No. 8 T.C.U. Horned Frogs
“Schedule rating: 1. The Horned Frogs are still two games shy of completing their schedule, and there aren’t many takers. If TCU can nail down a game with Oregon State — it’s in the works — it will improve an awful Non-conference schedule that includes SMU and Baylor.”
No. 9 Nebraska Cornhuskers
“Schedule rating: 1. It all sets up for a Big Red revival: Texas visits Lincoln, and Oklahoma is off the schedule. The Huskers’ toughest non-conference test is a trip to Washington.”
No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers
“Schedule rating: 2. Bret Bielema’s best team yet gets UNLV, San Jose State, Arizona State and Austin Peay in non-conference play and a Big Ten schedule with no game against Penn State.”
