I think most of us would agree that the schedule for this season works out pretty favorably. Sure, some might argue that having both bye weeks so early in the season isn't so great and that playing seven straight conferences games will be a bit of a grind, but ultimately I think this is a pretty solid schedule.
| Date | Opponent* | Time |
| Aug. 28, 2008 | at Baylor | 8:00 pm ET |
| Sept. 6, 2008 | Ole Miss | 3:30 pm ET |
| Sept. 20, 2008 | at Florida State | TBA |
| Sept. 27, 2008 | Navy | TBA |
| Oct. 9, 2008 | Clemson | TBA |
| Oct. 18, 2008 | at Maryland | TBA |
| Oct. 25, 2008 | at Miami-FL | TBA |
| Nov. 1, 2008 | Duke | TBA |
| Nov. 8, 2008 | Virginia | TBA |
| Nov. 15, 2008 | at NC State | TBA |
| Nov. 22, 2008 | Boston College | TBA |
| Nov. 29, 2008 | Vanderbilt | TBA |
Having the bye weeks before what are likely to be the two most difficult games on the schedule should give us a slight advantage in those games. Besides that, we don't get stuck opening the season with a tough conference game like we did with BC last season, and we don't have an overly difficult non-conference game like we did with Nebraska last season.
My plan from here is to go through the whole schedule and talk a bit about each game. These posts won't be overly long, but I'll share my early thoughts on the game and the opponent, and talk about the game's implications for our season. I hope these posts will be a good opportunity for all of you to chime in on the opponents and things such as that. If we get some good discussion going then these posts will be a success. Enjoy.
