Who Has the Most Difficult Remaining Path to the College Football Playoff?

Knock on Baylor's strength of schedule all you want. It's fashionable and, honestly, not inaccurate to do so.

Through six games, the Bears' toughest test has been against Texas Tech in Arlington and Baylor won 63-35. They've played two true road games, but they were against SMU and Kansas. According to FootballOutsiders.com, Baylor's strength of schedule ranks 57th in college football. That's certainly not the worst among playoff contenders—which, for this argument, is narrowed to undefeated or one-loss teams—but nowhere near the best, either.

So, go ahead and get the jokes in now. In fact, you have one more week since Baylor hosts Iowa State in Week 8.
