Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3351791, member: 7492"] While seeing Tennessee jump 3 notches this week in the polls on the strength of beating Massey #340 Ark Pine Bluff and #305 Air Force (who the heck is voting????) I went and looked at the LV schedule and OMG is it an [B]embarrassment[/B]. It’s listed as #179 (mind you there are 348 D1 schools this year). Yes, she had #20 ND (who one would expect to be better when scheduling), #5 Stanford and of course #2 Connecticut. Even Texas has always played a soft OOC and while next for UT is rated a whopping #90! The next lowest Massey score on the OOC is #164 Portland St and #187 Colorado St. Add in the games of #265 E Tenn, #286 Cen Ark, #225 Stetson, #253 Howard, #337 Tennessee State on the OOC and that is 4 teams under 100, 2 teams #164-200; 4 teams #225-286 and 3 teams #305-340. So with 348 D1 teams, Holly scheduled in the lower half of all teams. Yikes. :eek: My quasi apologies to MSU as I guess it’s an SEC hereditary issue to put cupcakes and turnovers on your bakery schedule. I am slightly heartened at how tough the Mizzou St schedule is at #5 so hopefully these schedule commitments end soon so a former elite team can once again act elite. Head bang [/QUOTE]
