We're through three weeks of the college football season, but there is still plenty of action left. After three weeks of the season, we're finally getting a picture of which teams have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Following the Week 3 slate of games, ESPN updated its Football Power Index - a computer model that measures overall team strength. Alabama remains a heavy favorite in every poll and metric after finally finding an elite quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.
While updating its FPI, ESPN's computer model also projects win/loss, percentage chance to win a team's respective conference, and strength of schedule.
According to ESPN's FPI, here are the 10 hardest schedules for the rest of the season.
- Kansas
- Arkansas
- Kansas State
- Pitt
- Purdue
- Baylor
- Texas Tech
- Nebraska
- Tennessee
- UCLA
