Toughest FCS Schedule

[Saint3333]

My vote would be for NAU. I wasn't that familar with them until they showed up on ASU's schedule, but wow I'm even more impressed that they agreed to a game in Boone after looking at their schedule. Only 4 to 5 teams in the nation could play this schedule and make the playoffs. Not only do they play 4 preseason playoff contenders and a BCS school, but 4 of the 5 games are on the road.

@ Arizona 6-6 (4-5) in the PAC 10 last year
@ ASU (top 5 FCS team)
@ PSU (top 20 FCS team)
Montana (top 5 FCS team)
@ MSU (top 20 FCS team)

[th0m]

How about SUU?

@ Montana
North Dakota
SIU
McNeese State
@ Montana State
@ YSU
UC Davis
@ NDSU
Cal Poly
@ SDSU
@ UNI

A case can be made that all FCS teams could be top 25 during the season. Just insanity.

[dbackjon]

yup - heck of a schedule. SUU has a tough one as well.


I do know that if by some miracle, NAU started out 3-0 (Western NM, Arizona and App St) that they dang well better be #1 :D

[Saint3333]

Wow sorry NAU but you're now second on my list SUU's schedule is even worse (better).

I'd say a minimum of 5 playoff teams (not preseason contenders, but actually playoff teams) are on their schedule and that's before you add in the transitional schools. Looks like a 1-10 or 0-11 schedule to me...

Yes - SUU is #1 with that schedule.

That is a toughie as well. I see Western at 0-4 going into the first home game versus Elon.

Hopefully SUU beats everyone except us and SDSU so our SOS goes way up. (I can dream, right?)

[th0m]

Why not beat SDSU as well?

[NDSUFREAK]

Hands down I have to say SUU has THEE toughest schedule out there. God speed...

[TexasTerror]

I thought it was already determined that San Diego has the toughest...among the non-scholarships. NoCo at home, but road trips to UC Davis, Dayton and Butler in addition to the huge rivalry road game at Azusa Pacific...

Yea right- definitely San Diegoxlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

No doubt in my mind (decided long ago) that Southern Utah has the toughest schedule.

[PantherRob82]

I don't think anyone comes close to SUU. I'm also excited about San Diego slipping back into the abyss.

hope Stanford goes 0-12 this year. Stupid Harbaugh filling our boards with his crap last year. xcoolx

All I can say, is given the other schedules, we had better go undefeated.

suu is by far and away the toughest shedule... but western carolina's isnt bad just because they may get seriously killed against alabama or uga

It appears that he was thinking get into the playoffs and we'll go from there. It definately wasn't to have a high SOS.

He was thinking, we finally got that $1M deficit taken care of, we don't need to go to Iowa any more. :p

Yes, most at the Great West Predictions are saying 1-10 or 0-11 for SUU. North Dakota is in their last D-II year, and are likely to make those play-offs until they play Grand Valley St. in the Regional Final. Same team that beat UNI last year.xwhistlex

Agreed, and if they make it through undefeated, there will be a possibility of a non-schollie in the play-offs. But my bet is that at least UC-Davis takes them down, and UNC Bears and Marist should be tight games if not losses for San Diego.

A tough one overall for sure. We at App used to make fun of them playing Mars Hill every year, then we got a chancellor who went there and we ended up playing his alma mater.

ASU can't claim to have the toughest schedule this year by far with G-W and L-R on the slate, but Michigan in the Big House has to be the toughest single game for any FCS team.

I was being sarcastic...

Only thing working for USD is just one sub-Div I game...

Whatever their SOS was last year, probably the same this year... UNC is worse than Yale, but Marist better than Dixie.

I wouldn't be surprised if WCU went 2-9 with that schedule. Possibly even 1-10. xnonono2x

Man!!! they open with 4 straight roadies.

They need a new AD!!!

[gophoenix]

They have 3 straight road games. Presbyterian is at home.

[Go...gate]

I'm inclined to think that WCU has the tougher schedule because of that Bataan Death March set up at the beginning. That AD is either ambitious or crazy. SUU's is very tough but, IMO, there are no headbangers like Alabama.
