Frosted Flakes: Nebraska Has Second Toughest Football Schedule In 2018

Nebraska faces an uphill climb

Nebraska has the second toughest college football schedule in 2018, according to Phil Steele’s spring guide. First is Florida State, whose 2018 opponents won 63.4% of their games in 2017. Second is Nebraska at 62.8% and then Michigan at 62.7%.

Measuring strength of schedule by using 2017 wins and losses? Looks like kind of a lousy way to do that, but that’s how the NCAA does it, and Phil Steele uses it, so it must be all right.

Note that Steele lists Nebraska with seven returning starters on offense and eight returning on defense. I would throw that away. We have no idea how many of the guys from last year are going to win back their starting roles, but.. Steele has to list something. The more he lists, the more chances he has to be correct about it, and then he can tell you even more times how great he is at predicting the future.
