Which is the better home schedule?

[LiveCoug]

A poster on the Iowa State board is insinuating that their schedule is much better than the Utes schedule...

Utah Home Games: Pittsburgh, UNLV, San Jose State, Colorado State, TCU, BYU

Iowa State Home Games: Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, Texas Tech, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska, Mizzou


What do you think?

Iowa State.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Utah. Two FBS directional schools eliminates you from any "best schedule" contest, unless you are in the SEC. Then your schedule is full of power.

Iowa State has Utah on their schedule. Utah doesn't.

I'm confused.

I'm confused.

He's saying that Iowa St. has Utah at home, while Utah is at ISU.

Northern Illinois is FBS (MAC) and Northern Iowa is FCS (what used to be called D 1-AA).

I'm pretty sure that will change your opinion about the schedules.

home games againts pitt, tcu and byu put utah over the edge here. the middle 3 games suck, but are bookended by games over three teams that are top 20.

What do you think?

Let's rank the two:
Utah
TCU
BYU
Pitt
CSU
UNLV
SJSU

Iowa St
Nebraska
Utah
TTech
Mizzou
Kansas
NIU
UNI

TCU's better than Nebraska; BYU is better than Utah (on account of the game being a rivalry game, NOT the expected comparative talent); Pitt's better than Tech; Mizzou's better than CSU; Kansas is better than UNLV; NIU vs. SJSU is a push; and UNI is a good FCS school.

Perhaps he's right, but as a season-ticket holder for the Utes I'm not complaining.

What do you think?

was he talking about home schedule or full schedule? And by "better" did he mean SoS?

Either way, there's one guy on there saying they've got the toughest schedule in the nation, so I'm not sure I'd take much of what they have to say without a hefty bag of rock salt.

Better is a relative term and Cyclone fans are free to say it, but "much better" is pure, unadulterated baloney. TCU and Pittsburgh could start higher in the polls than any team ISU faces at home, including Utah.

Then again, Cyclone fans have Utah pegged for another 13-0 season, in which case I would rate ISU's home schedule as being tougher than Utah's.
