Who has the toughest remaining schedule of the top contenders?

I'm going with the ducks.

Wow, really? At this point, tougher than Bama? Would love to hear why you think this...

Bama has the toughest schedule of the top 3 or 4 teams for sure. I know Saban will have the team ready to play LSU on Nov. 9th. I hope they put a whupping on LSU!

Just asking, how so? We had that one game that Garcia played like the second coming if Manning, but other than that, I don't remember him getting the best of Coach.

He is 3-1 all time against him. I think we have the best coach in the country by far, but SOS knows how to win.

I think Stanford and LSU would be a toss up. If one wants to say Auburn is better than AZ, I could understand that, but I think that game would be another toss up. Utah is better than Chattanooga and Oregon St is better than Mississippi State, which leaves the title games and I think those would be another toss up. The Chattanooga game swings it toward the ducks.

Are you serious?

This year yes. Most years I think LSU would route them.

Yes he will. Really nice to get the bye at the usual time. Last year it almost cost us.

There's a reason Stanford is the top ranked 1 loss team. They are still VERY good. They have their smart, senior defensive players. Skov, Murphy, etc. One of them is nicknamed the Yeti. And if you watched the whole game against OSU, they pretty much controlled it defensively. Their offense is the problem this year. Hopefully it'll make Oregon's work in Palo Alto easier.

Well yeah obviously if they have to play Bama in Pasadena.

They're so high because they have played 4 teams that were ranked at the time they played, which makes their schedule seem tough. I believe only UCLA ranked 20 is the only one of those 4 currently ranked. So they beat 3 teams that were over valued and one team that is 20. Plus they lost to a, at best, decent Utah.

This is a scenario where I think being preseason top 5 is why Stanford is so high now, not because they have shown they are that great.

That didn't really happen against Utah though.

Yeah I know, I was hoping somehow you guys might have forgot about that, lol.

Not a chance. Those things happen though.

Are you worried about LSU or are you confident you've got the tiger in the bag?

This is THE game to worry about. This is the least worried I've been since 2009, but I'm still worried more than any other game we've had. However, my confidence hasn't been shaken since CNS has been here.

You're lucky to have him for a coach. I think he could probably even coach a team like Fresno St. to a national title, not to mention most top tier programs out there that are just missing that key ingredient.

Hmmm... It's possible, not likely. lol

I guess I was thinking at Bama where he is 1-1.
