Moved Pitt down to 6th

Switched Louisville and West Virginia

Switched FAU and UCF

I think UNC will be tougher than UCF.  At least UNC has a chance.

Fair assesment. I would probably put WVU 3, RU 4. Ru is on 5 days rest, first time on thursday etc. etc.

I would agree... also Rutgers plays @ Syracuse the week before... so they are returning from a road trip.

You must be boozed up if you think WV is the fifth toughest game on our schedule.  They are in many people's Top 5...........

Dude, I am always boozed up  :coldone, but regardless, I have them behind Pittsburgh and Rutgers mainly because we play WVU at home.

I look at more than just their ranking.  I look at where and when we play them.  Three of my top four tough games are away games.  BTW, I think WVU will be a very tough game...it just happens to be fifth on my list.

Don't just post a list without putting your reasons why.  How am I supposed to argue with you, if you don't have an argument!  ;D

Hard Games

Auburn - On the road, big crowd, top 20 program, tradition, history, and SEC school.

WVU - Mountaineers are good, could be #1 team in the nation when we play, looking for revenge

Rutgers - 5 days rest, on the road, Ray Rice, and a solid defense

Louisville - Need to see how Brohm & co do under Coach K, but they have some talent on both sides of the ball

Middlin' Games

Pittsburgh - Possible cold weather game

Cincinnati - Good defense, but at Ray Jay

Not a Problem Games

Syracuse - The Orange might be looking to make a statement, and it's in the Dome, but it's the Orange

Connecticut - Virtual lock if it wasn't a road game

UCF - Sure, it's their NC game, but the talent level is just too great

UNC - First year under Davis, we beat 'em in Chapel Hill and get them in RayJay with a week's rest

Virtual Lock Games

FAU - The Owls don't have the talent here

Elon - Nice tune up, get the rust off

Changed per Boozedup's suggestion about Syracuse.
