AP Top 25 teams with most and fewest Top 25 teams on their schedules

With all of the talk about who has the hardest schedules between the SEC and Big 10, I did a deep dive on the number of ranked teams that are on the schedules of each Top 25 team. 9 SEC teams play at least 5 of the top 25 teams, whereas the Big 10 has 6. Of the teams who play at least 6 top 25 teams, 4 are from the SEC compared to 2 from the Big 10.

Below is the complete list of AP top 25 teams with the number of other top 25 teams that are on their schedules.


(1): Miami, Texas Tech
(2): BYU, Houston, Louisville, SMU, Utah
(3): Iowa, Notre Dame, Penn State
(4): Bama, Georgia, Indiana, Oregon, Tennessee
(5): LSU, Missouri, USC, Washington
(6): Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Texas A&M
(7): Texas


Some Non-SEC takeaways:

-Texas Tech barely made the list as the only ranked opponent is Houston at #23
-Miami's second "toughest" game is Clemson, who is less talented than last year's team that went 7-6
-Tough guy Cig doesn't play a ranked team until mid-October
