Strength of schedule? We played real schedules in the 80s.

Michigan's schedule is soft. Texas is overrated and they dodge Oregon. Ohio State plays real teams.

Top 10 schedule? Please. Texas is the only real game and they'll lose it. The rest of the Big Ten is soft. Ohio State dodging Oregon just porves the whole league is scared.

They still have TO come to the Dome and face us, and that's a guaranteed L on their schedule

Michigan's schedule isn't that tough. Texas lost their QB and top two receivers, so calling them "reloaded" is a stretch. Ohio State plays Oregon, and their non-con slate includes a better opponent in Alabama.

top 10? not a chance. texas is overrated and the rest of the big ten is soft. ohio state's schedule is tougher, period.

Michigan's schedule is softer than a 1976 Pitt homecoming game. Texas isn't the same Texas from the Earl Campbell days, and the Big Ten hasn't been tough since they ruined the old rivalries. Ohio State always gets the easy path, just like they did back in the 90s.

Schedule don't win games

Texas is overrrated

Who cares about their schedule rating? They still have to play us, and we own that rivalry lately. Their whole season depends on beating Ohio State, which they haven't done consistently in decades.

Texas is reloading, but Michigan's Big Ten slate is soft. They avoid Oregon and Penn State, while Ohio State gets both. Their SOS won't crack the top 15.

That Texas game is a huge bump, no doubt. But calling their schedule harder than Ohio State's is a massive stretch. The Buckeyes still play Oregon and get Penn State on the road. Michigan avoids Oregon entirely and gets Penn State at home. The real metric is the Big Ten West slate, and both teams get a similar draw there. Their strength of schedule won't crack the top ten with that home-heavy conferecne lineup.

Oh please, they're clinging to that Texas game like it's a life raft. We play at USC and get Washington at home, that's way tougher than their one big non-con game. And let's be real, their whole schedule argument falls apart because they have to come to Beaver Stadium in November, and we own them there. Their strengh of schedule won't matter after we hand them another loss. They should worry more about their own offensive line than trying to calculate difficulty ratings.

Michigan's schedule is soft. Texas is their only real test and they'll lose that game by double digits.

Our schedule is way tougher than theeirs, especially with that trip to Death Valley

That Texas game is a monster, but the rest of the non-con is soft. The Big Ten schedule is overrated, and they avoid Penn State on the road. Ohio State's path is tougher when you factor in the Oregon game and that trip to Eugene.

Texas is overrated and Michigan's schedule is soft. They still get to avoid Penn State in the regular season, which is a gift. The Big Ten is ours this year.

Texas lost 11 starters

Michigan's schedule is soft compared to the old Big 12 gauntlet we used to run. Texas is just one game, and the Big Ten isn't what it used to be before realignment. Ohio State always gets the favorable draw, some things never change.

Texas is overrated

Who cares about their schedule when they're fixin' to get exposed? We play tougher teams in the Southland every week than they see in their cushy non-conference. Their whole season is a paper tiger.

Our schedule is tougher than Michigan's and we actually play real teams all season

Top ten? Not a chance. Their non-conference is Texas and then a bunch of cupcakes. The Big Ten is weaker than ever, and they avoid playing a real road game until October. Ohio State's schedule is tougher by default because they actually have to face us. Michigan's path is a joke, AND everybody knows it.

That Texas game is a monster, but the rest of their non-con is weak. Ohio State still has to play Oregon and Penn State, their composite SOS will be tougher when the computers run it.

They can have the tough schedule, we'll have the win in Bloomington

Who cares about Michigan

Our schedule is tougher because we actually play in the BIG Ten West, not the watered-down East

Michigan's schedule is being overrated here. Texas lost multiple key defensive starters and their offensive line has major questions. Ohio State still plays Michigan and Penn State, two top-15 SP+ teams. The Wolverines' Big Ten West draw is soft, facing Nebraska and Iowa, both outside the top 30 in returning production. Texas is a good game, but one non-conference opponent doesn't override a weaker conference slate. Ohio State's path is consistently tougher week-to-week.

Michigan's schedule is softer than a 90s pilolw fight. Texas isn't the same Texas from the old Southwest Conference days, and avoiding Oregon is a gift. Our Lions played tougher NAIA slates back in the day.

Texas is overrated and Michigan's schedle is soft. They'll be exposed.

Texas lost 63% of their offensive production, and Michigan's Big Ten schedule avoids Oregon entirely. Their SOS won't crack the top 15.

You're trying to hype up Michigan's schedule to make their path sound tougher than ours, but we all know the truth. The Big Ten is down this year outside of maybe two teams, and Texas lost more to the NFL than anyone. Calling them "reloaded" is a stretch. Meanwhile, our CCIW grind is brutal every single week. We play in the best D3 conference in the country, where any team can beat you on any Saturday. Our non-conference is always scheduled tough on purpose, and we don't get to dodge our rivals like Ohio State gets to dodge Oregon. Michigan's schedule looks pretty on paper, but the actuaal week-to-week physicality doesn't compare to the war we go through. They'll be soft by November, WHILE we're battle-tested and ready to make a real playoff run. Top 10 strength of schedule is a cute talking point for a team that plays maybe four real games. Come talk to us after you've survived the Thunder's season.
