2023 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

ScriptOhio

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.


Steele recently released his list using the NCAA’s formula for schedule difficulty to come up with college football's toughest schedules. He has his own metrics he uses in his college football season guide. Below are the top 10 as they stand right now.

Rank Team Win Foes Loss Foes Win % Foe Ranked Teams Teams with winning record Bowl teams Conference Conference Rank
1 South Carolina 103 53 66.0% 4 8 9 SEC 1
2 Michigan State 96-57 57 62.7% 4 8 8 Big Ten 1
3 West Virginia 98-59 59 62.4% 3 9 11 Big 12 1
4 Ole Miss 95-68 58 62.1% 5 7 6 SEC 2
5 Missouri 97-60 60 61.8% 5 9 10 SEC 3
6 Houston 96-60 60 61.5% 3 9 10 Big 12 2
6 Florida 96-60 60 61.5% 6 8 9 SEC 4
8 Iowa State 97-61 61 61.4% 3 9 11 Big 12 3
9 Ohio State 94-60 60 61.0% 3 9 8 Big Ten 2
10 Kansas State 96-62 62 60.8% 3 8 11 Big 12 4
The Buckeyes certainly will have a more difficult challenge than they did a year ago.



Just sayin': Only 6 home games, at Notre Dame, and at scUM will do that to your schedule.

The 2023 college football season is nearly upon us, and in two weeks' time, Big Ten media days will kick off. The conference's teams will gather at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the unofficial start of the new football year.

Each Big Ten team will send its head coach and three players to represent their program at the media days. The conference recently announced the player representatives for each team.

Ohio State, led by head coach Ryan Day, will have junior wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., senior tight end Cade Stover and junior defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau in attendance. All three players are returning after successful seasons in 2022, during which the Scarlet and Gray reached the College Football Playoff for the fourth time in five years under Day.
