Jon Joseph Moderator No. 30 Share Posted June 7 (edited) College Wire ranks the B1G as the conference with the second most difficult SOS in 2024. The SEC is, of course, the hardest place to play your ball. 'Iron sharpens iron," right? The 4th out-of-conference game vs, The East-West-North-South Lilliputians is a real iron sharpener. Playing 8 conference games is justified because 'No one plays D like we do in the SEC.' 9/30/23 - Ole Miss 55 - LSU 46 10/7/23 - LSU 49 - Missouri 39 11/11/23 - Georgia 52 - Ole Miss - 17 None of the three games went into OT.

ESPN's super-secret decoder ring needed Fallacious Proposterious Index has 11 (out of 18) SEC teams ranked in the Top 20, the SEC could probably play six conference games and have a robust strength-of-schedule. The preseason FPI rankings would give us a playoff field with 5 SEC and 3 B1G teams. If playing 8 and not 9 conference games tilts the Playoff in the SEC's direction, then notwithstanding the SEC being the BCS and the 4-team playoff top dogs, the B1G and the B12 will need to step up and be counted. College football’s toughest schedules according to the latest FPI COLLEGESPORTSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Breaking down some of the numbers from the latest FPI.
