Stat Shows How Tough Michigan’s Road Schedule Will Be In 2018

According to Phil Steele, Michigan has the third toughest schedule of any football program next season. As Michael Spath documented in this tweet, it’s not the first time a team has had such a tough road schedule and made it to the CFB Playoff.

Michigan will likely have to play three Top 25 teams on the road this year (ND, MSU, OSU). Only 4 of the 16 playoff participants so far have had to play three road games against Top 25 competition. The average for playoff teams is 1.9.
