What to know: That (relatively) soft Bulldogs schedule last year? It's not so kind this time around.
2. Ohio State
What to know: Ross Bjork's in town, which means Ryan Day's next buyout might match the GDP of a small country.

What to know: The Longhorns christened their official entry into the SEC with a Texas-sized party on July 1, complete with everything from fireworks to a Ferris wheel. But an SEC schedule can end any party pretty quick.
4. Alabama
What to know: Nick Saban goes from the sidelines to the ESPN "College GameDay" set. And Kalen DeBoer steps into an unfillable void.
5. Oregon
What to know: Maryland will have to travel 2,818 miles for a Big Ten conference game at Oregon on Nov. 9. That's more miles than the Ducks' yards rushing last season. What are we doing here?
