Well, @ Texas, and Michigan and Oregon at home.
It also depends a lot on Indiana, probably.
Aside from that... it's honestly not that bad.

Agreed, and I'm sure Bill is assuming they don't fall off.
Here are their [final records from 2025].
vs Ball State [4-8]
@ Texas [10-3]
vs Kent State [5-7]
vs Illinois [9-4]
@ Iowa [9-4]
vs Maryland [4-8]
@Indiana [16-0]
@USC [9-4]
vs Oregon [13-2]
vs Northwestern [7-6]
@Nebraska [7-6]
vs Michigan [9-4]
Defending nation champions, then a team with 2 losses, a team with 3 losses, four teams with 4 losses, and finally five teams with 6 or more losses.
So early there is really no basis for a ranking, but I wouldn't say it's a murders' row either.

Indiana, at Texas, @USC, Vs Michigan, vs Oregon.....while I would argue it should not be top 4, it is not a schedule of just guanteed wins.
