10 Embarrassingly Soft 2016 College Football Schedules

A college football team's schedule is the map through which it must navigate to reach its season goals, whatever they may be.

It also means that any slip-ups along the way will likely wreck any shot of either making the playoffs or, in the case of non-power conference teams, having a chance to earn the "Group of Five" bid to a major bowl game.
