Sneak peek: 2010 schedule breakdown
Over the last two weeks, PowerMizzou.com has rated every position on the field for the 12 teams on Missouri's 2010 schedule. Today, the culmination of those rankings. We add up all the points and rank the 2010 season, game-by-game, from most to least difficult.
The one factor this ranking does not take into account is where and when the game is played. A road game is tougher than a home game. Getting a team the week before a big rivalry game, or getting a team between games against lesser opponents are intangibles that can affect the difficulty. These rankings are simply our opinion of the talent on the field in each game.
Here is our complete analysis of the Tigers' 2010 schedule. The maximum number of points is 96. The lowest possible number is eight.
