Most of the obvious games have disappeared. I think the schedule gets much more interesting, here on out.

Here is the 2013 schedule so far from most to least difficult:

1. ???

2. ???

3. ???

4. ???

5. ???

6. ???

7. ???

8. ???

9. at Nevada (52%)

10. at Virginia (58%)

11. at Houston (38%)

12. vs Idaho St (92%)

Middle Tennessee State should be number 10 instead of number 8.

The team that smoked Georgia Tech should be at least 3 spots worse than them?

Smoked them early last year, then got clowned by teams like Arkansas State and barely snuck out of games with teams like South Alabama. Yeah, they'll be worse than GT this year, much worse.

USA today has AK St. #55 this year. Not a bad team to lose to for MTDU last year.

I place mtsu in this next tier that includes USU, GT & UT. Yes, Utah.

But, USU is on the road, with Chuckie, and wants revenge, notwithstanding Anderson is gone; GT will want revenge, but Bronco has their number and its at elevation in Cougar Town; then Utah, who I always place in BYus hardest game bc "it's just anther game" and bc we are getting owned--however, this year Bronco STOPS treating it like just another game and KVN and Hoff have serious unfinished business--so I put this in the second tier of hardness....

But, I only have CC opinions and the prevailing seems to be that mtsu is next.

Virginia on the road will be much tougher than Middle Tennessee State at home. Nevada may prove to be a bad team by year end but they have been respectable the last few years.

MDSU had a good win against Georgia Tech, but Georgia Tech wasn't that good last year. I believe it is a lot more likely that Georgia Tech improved this year compared to MDSU. I think it will be back to reality for MDSU this year.

MTSU is this year's Northern Iowa: look decent on paper, but will fold like paper against a good, deep, multidimensional program.

arkansas state was a good team last year. MTSU is and will be better than you are giving them credit for. BYU should still win handily, but MTSU is not a garbage team.

This I agree with. I think the UV game will be harder than the USU, GT, :utard: and maybe even the Boise game. Shouldn't be #10 on this list. Should be maybe 6 or 5.

Not saying that they are "garbage," saying that they are worse than @Virginia and possibly worse than Nevada.

I agree with MTSU being worse than Virginia (Virginia should NOT be #10 on this list), but I disagree about Nevada. Freno will be AWFUL this year.

Virginia has all the key ingredients to be one of the worst teams in the country this year. A bad team that lost most of what little was good about it. That doesn't mean that BYU will play well so far away from Provo of course.
