and 3 absolute cupcakes and 1 cupcake to be determined later. Tough having those juggernauts on their schedule. Not to mention, only 3 away games. Maybe 4 w/ Ark.

Boy, that's blistering

LSU's schedule is harder this year than next IMO.

Dude, 5 conference games IN A ROW. Well, with a bye. But FIVE CONFERENCE GAMES!!!

You want to see tough schedules? Here is USC 2008 and 2009.

2008:
@ Virginia
Ohio State
@ Oregon State
Arizona State
@ Washington State
@ Arizona
Washington
California
@ Stanford
Oregon
Notre Dame
@ UCLA

2009
San Jose State
@ Ohio State
@ Washington
Washington State
@ California
Arizona
@ Notre Dame
Oregon State
@ Oregon
@ Arizona State
Stanford
UCLA

If USC had the 2009 schedule this year it might have been the most brutal schedule of all time. 4 teams who at one point were top 5, all away.

This is a link to a grid showing every SEC school:

edit: There seem to be a few gaps (Ark only shows 10 games with only 2 non-conference), but it shows all the conference games and all the non-conference that have been shceduled for a while.

USC is so far ahead of the curve on OOC scheduling it is to weep. They go with at most one cupcake a year despite having to play a 9 game BCS conference schedule.

And the hate continues. Do I hate on your school's schedule? Or record?

Look at the teams. I would venture to guess that three of those teams finish in the top 10 with two legit NC contenders.

Dude, LSU's schedule is a normal SEC schedule(with the added bonus that they don't have to play themselves). I'm not sure what third team you think makes the top 10, but either way, that's got to be one of the easiest schedules in the SEC because those are some seriously soft cupcakes. UGA has @ASU, Arkansas has @Texas, I think Auburn plays somebody good OOC, etc.
