Mega-conference schedules can and do vary significantly from season to season.Penn State has the 2nd-easiest schedule. I don't know if PSU's roster is still Blue Chip. I do know that PSU coach Matt Campbell has a nice, B1G welcome.In this ranking, No. 18 Ohio State has the most difficult slate of games.OBD is ranked 16th, the third most difficult schedule.The top 25 games are those against the CBS too-early ranking of the top 25.All preseason schedule rankings are a guesstimate. But any 'expert' who thinks OBD has it easy in 2026 is way off the mark.https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2026-big-ten-football-schedule-rankings-easiest-toughest/

SEC sycophants will use the poll to promote the idea that SEC teams have to play a gauntlet like no other. 🤪 The B1G could win ten titles in a row and dominate the SEC in the bowl games, and it won't matter.And people wonder why Tony Petitti wants a PO with automatic qualifiers? SMH.https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-tens-top-teams-tougher-2026-schedules-gauntlet/

Thanks, Joel, for the insight into the obvious: the ACC, Big Ten, B12, and the SEC all have in-conference schedules with significant differences in degree of difficulty.This is one B1G reason the Power 4 should support Tony Petitti's 16-team, automatic-qualifier PO format. Ohio State, Michigan, and Northwestern have difficult schedules. Your friends at CBS Sports have OBD with the 3rd most difficult schedule - QUACK!CFB-HQ On SIJoel Klatt calls Big Ten’s 2026 college football schedule...Following the release of the Big Ten's 2026 college football schedules, Fox analyst Joel Klatt called the results "wildly imbalanced."

Your comment caught my eye about OSU, Michigan and Northwestern schedules. You know me, you're missing IU ... 😂 IU goes to Michigan, Washington and Nebraska. They play Ohio State, USC and Minnesota at home. Granted NOWHERE near as hard as Northwestern's schedule but there are at least 4 games there that could be a loss. But now looking at Michigan's schedule I see your point about leaving Indiana off your list of difficult schedules.
