Sporting News says Gophs have 5th toughest BT schedule

[BleedGopher]

per this Sid tid-bit:

"The Sporting News' website ranks the Gophers football schedule as the fifth most difficult in the Big Ten. It ranks Michigan first, followed by Iowa, Ohio State and Wisconsin"

Sid had it wrong, go figure. It's non-conference that they ranked. Not Big Ten schedule. Here is what I found from SN.

1. Michigan: Connecticut, at Notre Dame, Massachusetts, Bowling Green
2. Iowa: Eastern Illinois, Iowa State, at Arizona, Ball State
3. Ohio State: Marshall, Miami (Fla.), Ohio, Eastern Michigan
4. Wisconsin: at UNLV, San Jose State, Arizona State, Austin Peay
5. Minnesota: at Middle Tennessee, South Dakota, USC, Northern Illinois
6. Penn State: Youngstown State, at Alabama, Kent State, Temple
7. Purdue: at Notre Dame, Western Illinois, Ball State, Toledo
8. Michigan State: Western Michigan, vs. Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, Northern Colorado
9. Illinois: vs. Missouri, Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois, at Fresno State
10. Northwestern: at Vanderbilt, Illinois State, at Rice, Central Michigan
11. Indiana: Towson, at Western Kentucky, Akron, Arkansas State


Seriously? We have 3 bowl teams in our Non-conference schedule and they have Wisconsin at 3? Who's putting this list together?

Most ND fans still think that ND is the same as playing USC. Either way, it will be the Big Ten that counts.
