247Sports posted a new article discussing the game that each top 25 team will have "circled." They describe Iowa's schedule as "brutal." How in the world do these writers come up with these opinions? Logic would suggest that the difficulty of every teams' schedule is relative to the strength of that team. The Hawks will likely be favored in 8 of 12 games, possibly 9 depending on Wisconsin. Brutal? Hardly.
Now Kansas has a brutal schedule. They will maybe be favored in 2 games out of 12. How would you like to play a schedule like that? As a player or coach at Kansas, you look at your schedule and think, "Oh no, this is going to be brutal!" I wonder if you could realistically call the schedule for any top 25 team as brutal. Very few, if any.
I guess they write articles that way in order to appease their readers. The last thing you want to say is, "Most of these teams will pretty much have a cakewalk to 8 wins."
