Other than Michigan.....

This year I'm sticking with the toughest games as follows:

1) @ Michigan (obviously)
2) @ Penn State (easily one of the toughest places to play regardless of the scenario... Ohio State teams are only like 2-6 in Happy Valley... Tressel is 1-2 there)
3) Wisconsin (gonna be a great matchup, but playing in the 'shoe is a HUGE factor)

I also still don't see Washington being all that much competition for us. I'd expect something like a 34-13 score against them.

I think the Washington score will be closer than 34-13, and I think at Purdue will be a tougher game.

And I'm hoping that Bielema's early head coaching experiences in the 'Shoe are like Alvarez's, but if he sticks around a while that his later ones are different than Barry's. Alvarez started out 0-3 in C-Bus, but ended up 3-3.

If I had to rank our schedule, I'd rank it:

1. Michigan
2. Penn State
3. Wisconsin
4. Purdue(I was considering putting this game at number two simply because this should be our first possible tough game of the season, and it's a road night game to boot, but I think Purdue's lack of defense should make it relatively easy for us)
5. Washington
6-12. Rest of schedule(I'd be shocked if we lose any of these games, though at Minnesota could be trouble much like the Illinois game was last year)
