Some schedules are easier than others and most of the time, the strength of the schedule may determine where everyone stacks up at the end season.
The Pac-12 consists of four major contenders for 2023 and how those teams navigate their season will play a role in who goes to the Rose Bowl or possibly the College Football Playoff.
We offered our strength of schedule rankings earlier this year for the Pac-12 teams once the full schedule was released, but College Football News ranked all 133 teams in the nation according to schedule strength. We’ve put together where the Pac-12 teams are in those particular rankings, comparing them back to our own, as well.
Purdue has the most difficult schedule and New Mexico State has the easiest. But as all know, having an “easy” schedule doesn’t mean success. This is why we play the games.
