Strength of Schedule:

2. Georgia Tech
3. North Carolina
4. Clemson
5. Virginia
6. Wake Forest
7. NC State
8. Maryland
9. Duke

There are some very interesting/watchable non-conference games this year. Some of the ones that caught my eye were...

Tech vs Auburn
Clemson vs Georgia
Duke @ Tennessee (no chance for the Dookies, but should be a nice road trip up to Rocky Top)
FSU vs Colorado and @ Notre Dame
Maryland @ N.Illinois and E.Michigan (AT NIU and EMU? wtf?)
Carolina @ Wisconsin
NC State @ Ohio State
UVA @ South Carolina
Wake @ Boston College and vs Purdue

State and OSU should be a GREAT September game. Almost all the key players are back for the Wolfpack.

We have a chance to prove ourselves right away...or we can start 0-4 if we don't get our act in gear in a hurry. I wish we opened with somebody like Vandy or Duke instead of BYU.

I must say that Maryland has the easiest schedule.

8/30 at No. Illinois
9/6 at Florida State
9/13 Citadel
9/20 West Virginia
9/27 at East. Mich
10/4 Clemson
10/11 Duke
10/23 at Ga Tech
11/1 at No Carolina
11/13 Virginia
11/22 at NC State
11/29 at Wake Forest

Don't count West Virginia out. They've made bowls the past couple of years

IMO, Duke has the easiest schedule

W Carolina, Northwestern, and Rice are their OOC games
