Alabama's tougher schedule than USC's -- really?

[jorge4tx]

I read where USC has the nation's second toughest schedule second only to Alabama at #1. How can that be? The Crimson Tide has 8 home games -- USC has 7 -- and Ala plays the likes of Middle Tenn, U Louisiana Monroe and Charleston Southern. They have one tough out of conference game vs Wisconsin, at home, whereas we have Notre Dame on the road. True, USC plays 2 non-Power 5 teams this year in Ark St. and Idaho, but plays 9 conference games compared with Alabama's 8.

I don't get it. But I'm open to being enlightened. Anyone? Really.
