Here is the AAC:
The small number in the AdjEM column is the overall rank, and there are ranks for Offense and Defense as well.
8 AAC in top 100 would be a big increase from the 5 that finished there last year (including us just sneaking in at #96). Looks to be a very competitive conference and obviously adding Wichita St. helps that for sure. We'll be a bubble-centric conference this year, with 5 schools projected in the 60s. Wouldn't surprise me if AAC got anywhere from 3-7 schools in. All conference foes need to take care of business at home in the non-conference season to inflate our RPIs a bit.
Aesthetically, conference seems to be fairly slow paced, with only Tulane expected to play on the quick side.
UConn's schedule with opponent ranks:
Last year we played 11 'A' games and 6 'B' games. Projected this year for 12 and 5, plus the potential for more with PK80 wins. We didn't play a single "ultra cupcake" (300+ rank) last year, but have Coppin St. scheduled this year (and I'm worried about South Florida being THAT bad).
We've got a real top heavy schedule with @#3 Arizona, home against #1 Villanova, and home and home with #4 Wichita St. The Neutral Syracuse matchup looks to be an important bubble game.
