ESPN’s Power Football Index ranks SEC’s Strength of Schedule

As college football teams start their fall training camps, fans and analysts across the country are finally getting to see what each squad will look like for the 2017 season.

Recently, ESPN ranked each college football team’s strength of schedule, as you can see here.

Surprisingly Cal, which has non-conference games against North Carolina and Ole Miss, has the toughest schedule in the country, but from there, SEC schools appear on the list early and often.

Here’s where each of the 14 SEC squads ranks in terms of strength of schedule:

• No. 2 — Georgia
• No. 3 — LSU
• No. 4 — Florida
• No. 5 — South Carolina
• No. 11 — Alabama
• No. 14 — Mississippi State
• No. 15 — Vanderbilt
• No. 16 — Texas A&M
• No. 19 — Auburn
• No. 29 — Arkansas
• No. 30 — Tennessee
• No. 32 — Kentucky
• No. 36 — Ole Miss
• No. 49 — Mizzou

Georgia has high hopes for the 2017 season, but will have to navigate a difficult schedule to reach those goals. Mizzou, on the other hand, has the conference’s easiest schedule, checking in at No. 49 in the country.
