Rank the 2013 Schedule

This next game will complete the "easy" half of the schedule. It's interesting that four of the five games so far have earned a majority of the vote.



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



1. ???

2. ???

3. ???

4. ???

5. ???

6. ???

7. ???

8. vs Middle Tennessee St (64%)

9. at Nevada (52%)

10. at Virginia (58%)

11. at Houston (38%)

12. vs Idaho St (92%)

Now in my opinion it gets hard.I picked Georgia Tech but I worry that we could end up in the same situation we had with Oregon State went to their place thunked em. Come home the next year and get thunked. Notice I did not say this will happen just that it worries me.But what other choices besides Utah State not an easy game by any stretch are there for this pick????

Ga. Tech: Bronco vs the option? Forgettaboutit!

GT...hands down.

They have been very good against the option thanks for the reminder.

In my opinion it is between Utah State and Georgia Tech. Looking at last year you would say that Georgia Tech will be easier. I think it is more likely that an ACC team improves from one year to the next. I don't know who they lost and gained, but I do know that Utah State lost their HC and some NFL guys. I think it is more likely that Utah State ends up being an easier game for us than Georgia Tech. I'm obviously in the minority on this one but I won't be surprised if we see the wheels come off for Utah State. They've never proven that they can put back-to-back good seasons together.

Exactly, you said what I did not do a good job saying, Thanks.

Except that last year for USU, it was a great season, maybe their best ever or in a long time. Ad the year before that was a good season. With a Chuckie they will at least have a good season. But I think they will be down on defense and yes, wheels may come off.

We get GT at home. One of the few decent teams that we have taken to the woodshed in recent years. If this one's not a gimme then our season has probably already sucked up til that point. We'll know pretty quickly how much of a dropoff our defense has had and if they'll be up to the task vs the option.

I sang this same song all off season last year but until BYU proves otherwise, utah is our hardest game with the exception of maybe Texas or ND. And when it comes to those two teams, I would expect a better executed harder fought game from BYU against those 2 teams. Look at BYU's performance against utah and then its performance against ND last year and you will see my point.

BYU could be 12-0 and Utah could be 0-12 and it would still be our hardest game. When it comes to the rivalry, all bets are off.

Especially when one side gives it more weight than the other...
