basically playing a "P5 schedule" with "G5 talent". If we had a top 25 team talent wise I don't think we'd be as worried about this schedule.
In that case we'd be looking at a worst case scenario of 8-4 with an undefeated record not out of the question. But when your recruiting classes are in the 70s and your SOS is #40 (according to Phil Steele) it makes for a tough schedule.
