I dont understand how this is possible. what does one have to do to have the hardest schedule in the nation. Who's schedule is even REMOTELY close?
Considering we beat the #3&4 in the polls, one of them decisively and the other at there house... don't think anyone can compare to that. Not to mention we still have the #6 piggies, ranked UGA and possibly the #2 team for the NC... Yeah no one can boast that schedule.
Easy. Look at the records of Tennessee, Florida, Miss State, Kentucky, Western Kentucky and throw in the FCS team - Northwestern. That's 6 of our wins. Be glad we scheduled Oregon and West Virginia. :crystal::geaux::crystal::geaux::crystal:
Texas A&M widely regarded as having toughest schedule: Here is who they have played so far (59-28 record against all other teams except A&M): 1. SMU (6-4) 2. Idaho (2-8) 3. Oklahoma State (10-0) 4. Arkansas (9-1) 5. Texas Tech (5-5) 6. Baylor (6-3) 7. Iowa State (5-4) 8. Missouri (5-5) 9. Oklahoma (8-1) 10. Kansas State (8-2) Remaining opponents 11. Kansas (2-8) 12. Texas (6-3) By the time we play Arkansas, we should surge to #1. If not, Georgia definitely puts us over the top. By year's end, LSU's opponents projected to have an 88-44 record vs everyone else except LSU. 67 % winning pct is pretty dang good.
A&m just thought they had it tough. Next year they will play lsu, bama, arky, auburn and then a tough Mississippi state and a who knows ole miss with a new coach. Having lsu , ark, bama and auburn back to back would be a tough hill to climb. I hope they don't make a bowl.
Exactly. We beat all of our tough opponents. That makes them look worse. SOS is hard to calculate because of the circular a beat b, b beat c, c beat a too.
