2025-2026 Non Conference Schedule

[97spiderfan]

??? Other than an MTE game against BC, Clemson was the only major Boise St played. And Boise played an NAIA team.

Other than MTE, the only majors St Mary's played were Nebraska and Utah, and they played a D2 team.

SDSU only played Cal as a major outside of their MTE while also playing a D3 team.

So, outside of MTEs, these 3 teams played combined 4 majors and 3 non D1 teams OOC. Seems like this hurts, not helps, your argument.

?????. I'm not sure what you are looking at but:

SDSU played Oregon, Gonzaga, Houston, Creighton and Cal OOC last year

St. Mary's played Nebraska, Utah, Utah State, Boise State, USC, and Arizona State last year

Boise played St. Mary's, San Francisco, Clemson, Boston College, Washington State,

We played Auburn and then a bunch of crap. These teams made it happen, we didn't.

NC SOS and some other info isn't in the final rankings, but you can use the drop down to go back to the Selection Sunday rankings. (or any other date). You can filter by conference if you just want to see A-10 and then sort by NET NC SOS or whatever metric you want.

any idea why it's so different from kenpom?

SOS has always been all over the place. for years. idk why. u could also look at torvik. rpi. a few others. I'd go with NET even tho it kinda sucks.

Yes, all played mulitple good OOC games. UNBELIEVABLE the lengths mooneyites go to. Well, if it is not an MTE on a tuesday in the south region, then how are we supposed to get a game. Just wow.

But 97 - the games you listed are the one's im thinking of - and I just knew those teams off top of my head. Sure there are another 5-10 mid majors that had good OOC opponents. We can't get those games or MTE's or whatever b/c moon has no gravitas, or pull, or teams have no reason to play him.

Lmao

MTEs r a big part of scheduling. why is VT4700 dismissing that. why would anyone.

Those teams had very good schedules and it hurt spider23's argument? what. this mush isn't following that at all.

Plus...plus...those teams had some good buy games at home. UC San Diego, Towson, Akron, Chattanooga. And they get higher profile games within their own confereces.

We need to get into a good MTE. No question about that.

Don't appreciate the mooneyite comment. Really wish u would stop with that. I hated our schedule last year. Hated it. But, we usually have a good one. You mentioned Boise's coach as an example of a coach picking up the phone and scheduling great. Boise had a home game against Clemson ( solid for a mid major), and had one other game against a major against BC, which was part of their MTE that included games against Hampton and South Dakota St. Had we played their schedule, you would have destroyed Mooney.

The other schedules were good mainly because of MTEs, which is the case for most mid majors now. Get into a good MTE and a very average schedule looks way better. We need to get in better MTEs. No question about that. It is also much harder to schedule like we used to, even as recent as a few years ago. No question about that either. And our schedule last year was beyond awful, and we should do much better than that regardless of how much harder it is now. No question about that either.

and when we don't should anyone be held accountable?

Never. That is the answer. All the credit for the few and far between good years, and deflect blame on all the bad years. And all the posters beating their chests leading up to the first scrimmage, slinked back off the board once the season got gnarly.

Who deflected blame? I don't remember anyone doing that last season. Who were all the posters beating their chests after a scrimmage? I don't remember that either. What's going on, man? U seem way angry. Hope all is okay.
