2018 Schedule

[HunterPSU96]

Now that our season is over according to some on this board, I guess it's time to look at the 2018 schedule and evaluate our CFP playoff hopes ...

Kinda looks really favorable IMO from a strength of schedule standpoint and favorable venues.

Notable games:
Away at Pitt
Home vs Ohio State
Home vs Michigan State
Home vs Iowa
Away vs Michigan
Home vs Wisconsin

Other games:
Home vs Appalachian State
Home vs Kent State
Away vs Illinois
Away at Indiana
Away at Rutgers
Home vs Maryland

Really only tough away game I see here is Michigan with a potential scare at Indiana. Otherwise OSU, MSU, Iowa, Wisconsin all at Beaver Stadium and perhaps under the lights? I like!

Adding Wisconsin and Illinois and losing Nebraska and Northwestern to the Big schedule makes it a little tougher (Wisconsin) but having all but Michigan at home surely helps. That should be a great home lineup. OSU at night is my guess.

10-2 again

With current OL coaching/philosophy, I see no better than 8-4
