Michigan might wind up being our only significant game...who knows. What happens if we beat Cuse and then the following week BC beats them. Now your talking about beating an 8-4 team that might (not) be ranked in the CFP top 25. Northwestern could possibly win out or they can lose this week to Iowa...now we are talking about again beating an 8-4 or 7-5 team. Two very average wins if you ask me. Unfortunately the schedule did not work out the way we thought it was with Stanford, USC, Va Tech all having down years.
I do agree with you that overall I think our schedule is just as good or better than theirs the rest of the way.
