Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2469764, member: 591"] While he would know, I'll add a couple of other factors that any coach can always fall back on: - Almost no one plays more than 4 - and plenty of teams only 2 - P5 teams in their OOC. And I'll argue that any P5 team should be able to beat any non P5 team except UConn and a very select other few teams - basically, like USF, Green Bay, etc. So you don't stand out as scheduling an especially weak schedule by that standard. - Winning has all kind of benefits, including the whole psychological side that scoop notes in his post, but also is most helpful for RPI - of course there is a fine line, as you don't want the NCAA committee to laugh at your schedule, and that has happened, but . . . - As Triad notes, there are always some special cases on the schedule. Arizona's schedule is awful this year, but I get it. Rutger's schedule wasn't great the last few years but was upgraded this season as the team was expected to be better. [/QUOTE]
