If that doesn't qualify as pretty close to the toughest schedule, it'll do till a tougher one comes
It's manufactured difficulty though. They have no chance to beat Alabama and Auburn. Those are nothing more than paycheck games. I have much more respect for teams that go out and play other quality FCS programs in the non-conference. EWU and UNI seem to do that better than anyone.
