My main concern with the limited OOC schedule for many teams, especially mid-majors like UR - is that when it comes to bubble teams, the P5 programs will get the edge because they have better opportunity for resume builders with their conference games. I already felt like the P5 programs had an advantage in this area and in some years there was a bias, but I think this year it might be even worse.

Maybe. I count 6 non-P6 (I include Big East) teams in the initial NET top 20, and 21 in the top 68. Obviously some of those will be auto-bids, and others are unsustainable (Colgate is #16 just from scheduling fluke). But that's a decent representation based on history.

We have one bad loss already (Quad 3). Our bubble team from last year only had one the entire season (to be fair it was also non-conference). We also had 3 Quad 1 wins, and we won't have as many opportunities this year. So mainly we just can't afford another bad loss.
