Yea and KState lost to a FCS school last year.
What makes Auburn's schedule so much harder? They play no back to back road games. They will be favored over every opponent except maybe one, and they get those guys at a place where they have won more than lost. If Bama's is the easiest then Auburn's is the second easiest.
UT+UF vs UGA+USC is the only real difference. UF can turn it around on the level that Auburn did last year and be an admirable foe. UF is a bold east winner prediction but to say a team that is top 5 in talent in the sec hurts our SOS is asinine.
Truth is Auburn's upcoming 9-3 year comes with built in excuses. They cant ever do it when they are "supposed" to. They have to sneak up on everybody.

We scheduled that WVU game after they put 70 on Clemson.

They lost to NDSU , winner of the last 3 FCS Championships. NDSU has been wooping FBS schools asses for a few years now. You think ESPN gameday went to NDSU for no reason. I'm looking forward to the beat down NDSU puts on Iowa State this year.
In short NDSU > Southern Miss, West Virginia, FAU, Western Carolina

And Georgia Southern has won twice as many FCS titles. There's still no excuse for losing to an FCS team.

Your team's schedule sucks arse and is weak.

When Auburn was playing Georgia and Florida every year as permanent opponents, Bama was playing Tennessee and Vandy.
There is some precedent?

Same jackasses whining about preseason schedules that insist only end of year rankings matter.

Your insecurity is on full display; however, everyone knows year end strength of schedule is what matters. Since no games have been played, right now we discuss based on available info.
Just sit back and enjoy another predominantly boring season for Bama.

Tennessee has a harder schedule than Auburn does.

UF could easily be 3rd in the East this year, they were devastated by injuries last year.

Close, but I think AUs is a little tougher. It is debatable though.

Playing a team that might rebound to be third best in a division isn't comparable to playing the two best teams in the division.
As it stands right now, your schedule looks easy. There is no getting around that and no use in being defensive about it.

Oh I'm not getting defensive. Far from it. I love playing these cupcakes. The more 42 or more to 7 or less games for Bama the more fun I'm having. We play enough good teams for me to know they'll be battle tested. I'm fine with the rest being cupcakes.

I love watching close games for other teams. But I want Bama to completely dominate every game. For any other teams, close games are thrilling. For Bama, I hate them. Never get bored, though it can start to get dull when Saban does nothing but pound it with the backup QB, the second string OL, and our fifth string tailback. We're hoping he lets the 2s throw a little more for the experience it gives the QB and the WRs. But I'm into every game, no matter the opponent, all the way until it ends. Even if Bama is up 52-0. Even when Bama was losing big time.
Hell, I was pissed off when we beat ND and won a title because they scored twice near the end. I've bought into what Saban says. He's quite literally brainwashing people.

I think you will experience it. You've experienced it against Alabama A&M before. Samford. Troy. Jax State. Don't act like y'all don't play scrub arse teams as well
