The ConFLiCT opens the season on ESPN/ESPN2. What else is there really to know?

Released 40 minutes after your comment: "The 2018 season begins Aug. 30, when UCF – which received four first-place votes in the final Associated Press poll of 2017 – visits UConn in the first conference game of the season"
Are you magic? Or was this announced already? Either way I'm glad you're right. I was hoping to get UConn in week 1 or 2, before it gets cold up there.

HOME
NC A&T
UNC
ODU
Houston
UCF
Memphis
UCONN
AWAY
Virginia Tech
USF
Temple
Tulane
Cincinnati
At least we have Houston, UCF, & Memphis in Greenville. Which gives us a snowball's chance in the Sahara, as opposed to full-fledged Hell.
Looks like another tough 3 game stretch to start off the year, after we hopefully can beat our FCS opponent.
UNC
@ VT
@ USF

RE: 2018 Football Schedule
pesiks schedule winners and losers
losers:
--ecu- hard games in front momentum and confidence might be killed by the time the easy games come around
--smu- your schedule is scary...the start with navy and ucf in conference play...if im abetting man you start 1-5
--Tulsa- give all the hard games early while they are still trying to figure it out..they are going to have to claw and fight to win any of their first 7 (the fcs they ply is elite)..ad hope they havent uit before the rest
--houston- not a big loser..but playing usf and memphis late actually benefits them, they get to develop before playing houston, while houston a is in returning a pretty experience team
indifferent:
--tulane: decent mix of hard and early games, also sidenote when did navy/tulane become a rivalry game? (trident trophy) that is the reason houston and navy arent playing at seasons end like we normally do
--uconn- giving the ucf game 1 right before boise is brutal...but the way uconn finished off last year, they werent beating most team early this year..playing the 2 teams that have likely destroyed you anyways to start might not be a bad thing..you'll to see who has fight on your team and get to experiment with different players early..if they come of those 2 losses atleast putting up a good fight the rest of the schedule is favorable and the 2 hardest are already out of the way
winners:
--ucf- given a second easy game to start the year to ease the transition
--cincy-all the easy games in front, and play ucla game one when theyll still be figuring it out (before they are too knowledgeable about the chip kelly system)..great chance to ook alot better than the are at 4-1 or 5-0
--memphis- missouri, ucf and houson are later in the season. new qb not thrown in the fire..even the 2 moderate early games (navy and tulane, are known for time killing offenses not monster defenses)
--temple- this is a great schedule temple was slowly getting better as the season finished out last year..their schedule is set up to keep building on the success before being thrown in the fire....very navigable first 8 then a bye to recoup then ucf, houston and usf. they should be ready to compete with the top by then
--navy getting a lot of the hard games earlier while those teams are still developing and might not be ready for triple option
--usf starts of easy enough for a new qb ..even with a new qb 6-1 seems like a worst case starting scenerio..they can build confidence around their new qb..hell they can probably experiment with their qbs till it works and still win most of those games
