Battling through the most important regular season in sports, reaching the College Football Playoff means perfection for most — playing with fire week to week over a 12-game meatgrinder hoping to avoid burns. That's what makes a program like Clemson's recent dominance so impressive despite the national notion that schedule favorability has played a pivotal role in the Tigers' success.
"Who has beat Alabama in SEC? In the past five years? Ain't many," a noticeably candid Dabo Swinney said last season. "Yet we've had a great run in our conference because nobody else is good. We’ve only won in postseason because people are tired or there are distractions ... it’s funny.”
And once again, from the outside looking in, you could say Clemson's slate appears tailor-made to get back to the final four. The same can not be said for many others, however.
Using our preseason way-too-early Top 25 as a guide, we ranked college football's toughest schedules for the upcoming 2020 season based on opponent quality, when the game occurs, likelihood it affects team success — reasoning behind South Carolina facing one of nation's toughest in 2019 — and circumstances surrounding the matchups (opponent coming off an open week; tough back to back, etc.).
All of that is also attached to a schedule strength rating (5 points for a preseason Top 5 opponent, 4 for Nos. 6-10, etc.), a numeral grade that is factored into a subjective placement in the overall schedule toughness rankings.
Here's a way-too-early look at the 15 most challenging slates next fall:
