Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread Is their schedule that tough? They get South Dakota St and Nevada. But in conference they miss Montana St and NAU, and they get both Montana and Idaho at home. I mean, who knows who will actually be good next year so we'll see.
2022 when they went undefeated they also missed Montana St (No.4) but they got Weber, Idaho, Montana and UC Davis and they won at 6-5 Northern Iowa and beat Colorado St by 31.
2021 was softer since they missed Montana St and EWU (both finished top-10).
I guess I just compare schedules to our 2022 team (faced the 1, 2 and 4 seeded playoff teams plus and Idaho team who made the playoffs and Cal) or our 2019 team (faced the 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 seeded teams, playoff teams in San Diego and North Dakota, and Cal). So everything is relative.
