If you pretend everyone will be the same as last year, it would look that way. Otherwise:
College Football Network's Strength of Schedule for 2024
CFN’s exclusive strength of schedule metric was crafted carefully using as many resources as possible ahead of the 2024 season. Using a bevy of metrics such as returning production, roster projections, coaching staff, incoming talent, home-field advantage, and other factors, the CFN SOS analyzes which teams have the most difficult and easiest schedules this season.
CFN’s strength of schedule metric included each team’s transfer portal classes, valued quarterbacks returning to their school, and continuation among the coaching staffs into the ranking. These factors all awarded schedule difficulty more heavily based on merit and projection, as opposed to looking back at results from last season, though those results were factored in moderately.
Here’s how the teams rank ahead of the 2024 season.

Re: NCAA Football 2024
I think I'm with @Snake on this. I don't think you need 12, I think 6 is fine. I see what you have here and read @Sdbucs's response and your agreement to it, but I'm just not seeing it. I've said on the board before, I don't watch nor like college football, but my brother absolutely loves it and watches it all the time. My son loves it too. I talk to them towards the end of the season around the holidays (Thanksgiving then again at Christmas), and college football comes up. Every year they always talk about the teams in the Top 10 and they always agree that teams in the latter half of the top 10 are really good, but not good enough to beat the best of the best.
Yeah, I get the "on any given day" argument, but does that team mean that they're really the better team? Aren't the teams in the top 5 usually undefeated and/or 1-loss teams? In the same conference as teams from 7 to 12 that have like 2 and 3 losses? When the goal is to have a champion, 6 is enough. When the goal is to make more money and the champion aspect is secondary, then 12 teams works.
Re: NCAA Football 2024
Agree with the 12 teams being too many but with how stupid college football has gotten, it’s prolly the way they have to go. Should have six strong conferences, a conference championship for each conference, and 6-team playoff. Easiest way to do it. But now we basically have a 2 conference system. It’s no coincidence Nick Saban retired at the same time all this crap is about to take place.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Re: NCAA Football 2024
I could debate both sides of it, but at the end of the day: more teams = more football = yay.

Re: NCAA Football 2024
It will probably work out to the same amount of games no matter how many teams make the playoffs. More playoff games will lead to less regular season games. If their at 12 now, they're only 3 years away from 16. By that point, you'll probably have 2 football conferences with 24 teams (each)... two 12-team divisions. They'll play an 11-game season (only games in their division), with a possible 4 extra (between conf champ and playoffs). The teams that don't make the conf champ game or playoffs, will still get a worthless bowl game, like they do now and still play 12 games. You'll still get 2 teams with 15 games, a couple others with 14... etc, like you do now.
Re: NCAA Football 2024
Too much math. I'm out.

I am still giggling at Ohio State never having a 15-0 record like Michigan.

"The color turquoise represents harmony, friendship and fellowship throughout Native American communities and is used in tribute to Florida State University's special friendship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida"
Everything thing that FSU does in terms of representation of the seminole tribe goes through a process to get approval from the tribe. This is one of the reasons why they never got caught up in the 'name change' bitching that affected the skins and indians (cleveland)
