Which had the tougher schedule?

According to Gamecock, team B.

Depends on the quality of those teams. Having an opponent going undefeated in the Mac/C-USA/Sun Belt/MWC/WAC isn't impressive as going 10-2 or even 8-4 in a BCS conference.

UConn's schedule > UNLV's.

Let's see. Besides 1-AA Texas Southern and the MAC's Temple, West Virginia is not only the sole 8-win AQ team that Connecticut played, but they're also the only team that finished the regular season in the BCS top 25. However, UNLV played them too, so that's a wash. No other team on Connecticut's schedule won more than seven games in the regular season. Meanwhile, UNLV played 12-0 TCU, 11-1 Wisconsin, 11-1 Nevada, 10-2 Utah and 10-3 Hawaii, who by the way, all finished the regular season ranked in the BCS top 25.

And you're telling me that UConn had a tougher schedule than UNLV? Okey dokey. Whatever you say.
