Playing Navy, Miami, BYU, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Michigan St and Wake is not a strong schedule.
When I saw Miami on the schedule - I thought that coud be a tough game.
Also - BYU, Pitt and Michigan St are solid teams that play tough.
BYU, barely lost to Utah, barely lost to Boise St., barely lost to Notre Dame. Crushed by Oregon St.
Pitt lost to Youngstown, in the lower end of the Big East, which isn't real strong this year enough said.
Michigan St. lower Big Ten team in a below average Big Ten this year.
