A list of some good teams with killer schedules:
Auburn: Their game at Kansas State in Sept may be a good look into the future. This team hosts LSU and South Carolina in October, and goes to Ole Miss, Georgia, and Alabama in November. 3-5 losses would not be a shock.
UCLA: Their season really starts in Arlington against Texas on 9/13. A loss for either team can ruin their season. UCLA also goes to Tempe to play Arizona State 12 days later. The home schedule features games against Oregon, Arizona, USC and Stanford, the last two being back to back.They also go to Washington. Another team that could lose 3-5 games.
Michigan State: Perhaps not quite as tough as the above mentioned teams, MSU still starts the season with a game at Oregon. They do play Nebraska, Michigan and Ohio State at home, but end the year at Penn State. 2-3 losses is certainly possible.
Texas: Who knows about this team? Their first test comes at home against BYU. Then a neutral site game against UCLA, They get Baylor at home, and Oklahoma back to back. They also travel to Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Another 3-5 loss posibility.
