2024 Conference USA College Football Strength of Schedule Rankings

Will Conference USA be all about Liberty going on a roll again, or will there be more substance to the ten team league?

It should be stronger in the midsection, but there should be a few issues at the bottom. Who gets the top teams at home and who has to play them on the road? How bad are the non-conference dates?

Who has the toughest schedule in Conference USA?

Here's how we do the college football Strength of Schedule Rankings. Where is each team ranked in our 2024 CFN 1 to 134 Rankings?

That's the number. So if Louisiana Tech is 108th, a team gets 108 points for a home game against the Bulldogs, and 54 - cut the score in half; obviously it's harder to play away from home - for road games

The lower the overall score, the tougher the schedule. Based on the same formula, we rank each team's games from toughest to easiest.

Again, the lower the score, the tougher the schedule and ranking. 1 is the team with the hardest schedule, 10 has the easiest slate.
