[QUOTE="mstranahan, post: 289960, member: 2802"] It's pretty tough to schedule P5 schools in the non-conf part of the schedule now. Teams can play a max of 29 regular season games (or 27 plus an exempt tourney) Most P5 schools have expanded conference schedules (ACC is up from 14 to 18, others are similar). Most P5s go to a holiday exempt tourney where they see one or two tough games on a neutral court. Then you have the ACC-B1G challenge. You only have about 10 games left to schedule. Most of the P5s load up on lower level squads. The big boys (Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Mich State, UNC, UCLA) play a handful of marquee games at neutral sites rather than at someone else's gym. I hate it, but that's the reality of the new mega-conference NCAA. For us, that means 29 games... less 18 ACC .. less UGAG ... less B1G-ACC... only 9 games OOC to schedule. For teams that play in an exempt tourney, the math is worse... 27 less 18 less ACC-B1G (or similar) leaves 8 OOC games (ignoring any potential local rivals like UGAG). I think we could schedule some really solid teams for home and away (we already have with VCU). We also get UGAG every year. If we upgrade our 250+ RPI games with 100 - 150 RPI games, our SOS goes up and so does our profile (if we win). Would be great to see us continue to play VCU and add another good mid-major or mid-level P5. It will also be nice when the holiday tourneys start inviting us again.... boondoggles to the Caribbean over Thanksgiving and Christmas are always nice! [/QUOTE]
