Key Takeaways
Oregon State consistently holds the toughest overall schedule in the new Pac-12, heavily driven by demanding non-conference Power-4 matchups and zero FCS breather padding.
Boise State sits near the top tier of the conference, largely buoyed by high-profile non-conference games like their road trip to Eugene to play Oregon.
Fresno State and San Diego State generally benefit from the most favorable slates in the conference, avoiding several top-tier non-conference Power-4 opponents.
