Thoughts on schedule including Duke is the trappiest of trap games

[melstew]

This is our schedule. True away games are bold. The number represents where a team ranks on "most returning player minutes" (credit Phil Steele). The team in parenthesis is the team we play the prior week. It is not a really effective "strategic" schedule.. The non-continental game gives us an extra bye week, but our byes precede home games against weaker teams. Good news is, unlike years past, we do not have a lot of opponents coming off byes. The OSU--Duke away--Louisville away--USC stretch is unfortunate. But, the Duke game is particularly bruuutal. Yeah it's Duke, but Duke is going to be pretty good this year. Also, they play Uconn the week before.

3 Duke (Ohio St)--
10 USC (Louisville)
24 Navy (opener)
59 Ohio St (CMU)
63 Clemson (Pitt)
70 Louisville (Duke)
81 Central Mich (NC St.)
86 NC St. (Tennessee St)
102 Pitt (bye)
105 Wake (bye)
131 Stanford (Wake)
