Breaking down the 2022 college football schedule, league-by-league

A few quick takeaways before we go more in-depth below:
+ Seven Power 5 teams are playing zero non-conference games against other Power 5 foes. The seven: Arkansas, Baylor (no surprise at all, as we explain below), Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon State and UCLA. (Arkansas and Indiana are playing Cincinnati, though.)
+ The SEC and Sun Belt are playing the most games against FCS foes, with 14 each.
+ The Big 12 is playing the fewest games against FCS opponents, with eight. Alas, among the Power 5 conferences, the Big 12 is playing the fewest non-conference games against other Power 5s (10).
+ The ACC has 10 road games against non-Power 5 opponents, by far the most of any Power 5 league (North Carolina and Virginia Tech have two each). The other four Power 5 leagues have 13 of those types of games combined.
+ A tip of the cap to Colorado, which is playing the most Power 5 opponents (11) of any school in the nation.

UCLA's schedule is an abomination. They should be embarrassed. Oregon State plays both Fresno and Boise, so even with no P5 team, still not bad.

Arkansas is also going to play at BYU so they shouldn't even be on that list as Cincy and BYU are way more difficult than several other schools OOC schedule.

Baylor also plays BYU

They’ve never played an FCS school and that changes this year. I’m embarrassed for that.

Arkansas is also playing liberty, who will undoubtedly take a step back without malik Willis, is definitely not a guaranteed gimme win with freeze at the helm. Arkansas schedule is sneaky good this year

The "Power 5" distinction is being overplayed.
Rutgers, Vandy, and Kansas are all "Power 5". Why are they more valuable on a schedule than a ranked team from a non-"power" conference?

How many power 5 schools have a SWAC school on the schedule?

The Hogs also play Liberty and Missouri St.
A Bobby Petrino reunion and a game against a solid Hugh Freeze team is a nice way to round out their OCC schedule.

To be completely fair to UCLA, they had a home and home scheduled with Michigan, but Michigan cancelled the series only 3 years ago in order to play ECU and Hawaii. Hard to find a good replacement in that time frame.

Get out of here! Liberty doesn't have the players to compete! That is how it is won by top players on the field. Then it comes to coaching. Arkansas wins by a mile!

Rutgers isn't the same Rutgers of a few years ago. Schiano has been putting in work there and had elevated them out of the dumpster.
