what? We have a historically difficult schedule. 5 of our first conference games are against teams ranked in the Top 10 at the time of the game. 7 of 8 games will be against teams that were ranked in the Top 10 at one point in the season, and all 8 conference games will be against teams that are ranked in top 25. Also all of our conference opponent will have not only all been ranked in the Top 25 at some point in the season, but also will have all been Top 20 teams at some point. That has to be some sort of record having all of your conference games coming against Top 20 teams at some point in one season.
Why the hell does it matter they were ranked in the top 10 at one point in the season? in 2012 we were ranked in the top 10 at one point in the season but we absolutely fricking sucked.
People complain about our schedule being hard like its not always going to be like this.
There's plenty of reasons this rebuild is going to take time. But year after year saying well our schedule is hard isn't one of them.

It's not always going to be like this
We started the season at Auburn. The SEC presidents recently agreed not to schedule any more conference games to begin the season. The only reason we did that this year was because the SEC Network wanted a marquee matchup for opening weekend and there was the perceived controversy of Bielema vs. Malzahn and all the hurry-up bullshite. We won't be starting the season with a road conference game for a long time, and we may never do it again.
We won't always have a Power 5 game on the road either. Yes, turns out Texas Tech sucks but it's still a nationally televised game away from home.
Next year we play Tennessee from the East, that's a lot better draw than Georgia.
MSU is #1 and we play in Starkville. That has never happened before.
In conclusion, our schedule will actually never be this hard in a normal season, and this year is an anomaly. Just look at our 2015 schedule, much more manageable.
