Our out of conference schedule is tough and we all know this, but am I the only one that thinks UCF might be the toughest team we face? ND played a very overrated Michigan team, Penn St played a scrappy team in Appy St and it took ovetime to do it. UCF had absolutely know problem at all just crushing it. UCF looked very well coached and played with the chip on the shoulder. It's just my opinion but I think they will give us a harder time than PSU, ND.
PSU, ND, UCF

Hard to say. UConn was an underwhelming opponent to say the least. They had a ton of young players, but that’s not to take anything away from UCF. But, of those three... I do agree UCF will give us the most fits.
I think ND will be the toughest. Similar talent level to PSU, but more experienced starters, plus it's on the road.
Based on first week (and also said this prior to the season), I would rank our OOC opponents this season from most difficult to weakest: (1) Notre Dame, (2) UCF, (3) Penn State, and (4) Albany.
UCF blows out Pedst. ND handles pedst like they did Michigan. UCF probably beats ND.
UCF's offense makes them the most difficult OOC this year.

UCF can score but they can't stop anyone either. Pitt will need to go in with the mentality that they need to score, score again, and score some more. No lead is safe and never take your foot off the gas. If they try to ball control and play defense they will lose handily.
UCF has a good offense but as others mentioned, their defense lacks. ND is the most balanced and I think is the best of the OOC currently. Michigan will improve as the season progresses. Certainly don't underestimate their defense. They still need work on their OL but it was their QB's first start and he has real potential. However, I think ND showed they were farther ahead and will be very competitive this year. PSU has talent but currently only 1 starter from last year on defense. They were running around everywhere out of position and hitting their reads late. They will also improve as the year goes on. Now is a great time to play them, just like a couple of years ago. I think Pitt matches up really well up the middle and if they run blitz to help out, I think they will be vulnerable on the outside and jets. But I think ND is the toughest right now. Overall, we have a very difficult but exciting OOC schedule. Can't wait, strap it on baby.
If Pitt slows the game down, they'll win. I'm not sold, obviously, because of a game against Uclown. The defense kind of sucks. They made that qb look like Lamar Jackson.
Ive said since day one that UCF is our toughest game by far... just like for the last 2 years Ive said OSU was our toughest game by far.
I think it is our toughest, followed by VTech now, then Notre Dame, then UPS. Not a swipe at UPS, they are a very talented team, just the other 3 will be tougher games.
-Central Florida is on a 14 game win streak and clowned Auburn last year. They just won by 40 on the road and the score was 56-10 two minutes into the 4th quarter. If they wanted to win this game by 60+ on the road they would have. This was easily one of the most impressive teams in week 1 in all of college football
It's a good thing that we don't have to play Akron. I'm told they're extremely tough every year.
Why do you continue to say stupid stuff like this. They beat Auburn by 7 and the game was tied heading into the 4th quarter. That was a good UCF team but they didn’t “clown” anybody in that game.
-The lead was 14 points with 4 minutes to go. And Ill continue to say stuff like this until the Central Florida's and Boise State's of the world get their respect. Which last year, beating up little Auburn they didnt ask for it, they just slapped an SEC team around and took respect
It is clear that UCF has the best offense we will face all year. I’m not sure yet if it will be the best overall team, but they are legit.
ND is going to be the most difficult by far. They looked great on Saturday and Mich is definitely no slouch. UCF would be 2nd toughest in a close one over PSU b/c we have PSU at home in prime time.
Returning a great defense. Did not mean they were a great team or worthy of a ranking, but to say they would be an easy win for any team would be a lie.
Why? I'm guessing CTE.
UCF is very impressive, regardless of some people's extreme hyperbole.
