True, but a few years ago, their schedules would have looked strong

Schedules are made years in advance, and the fortunes of the teams can take an unexpected rise or plunge.

For example, around this time last year, who of us would have ever thought Florida State would collapse so badly, going from a potential playoff team to the bottom of the ACC? I honestly thought that Mike Norvell had his team at a nice level, and that he'd be able to sustain that kind of success.
