They lost their best players from the previous year. Playing a great Notre Dame or a Vivian Stringer Rutgers team 3 times a year definitely conditions you for the NCAA tournament. We haven't had that league competition in years. In the old days, playing a tough league schedule helped us against a team like Tennessee. (A team who dominated the sport for decades) As far as Geno goes, I would bet he would love the tough conference schedule of the old days but he really has no say. (Of course I could be wrong but would still bet that he agrees) In the end, it's because football rules when it comes to the NCAA. It is always about the dollars. Btw, The exception to the weak conference schedule and still winning would be the Stewart years. Nobody was beating her teams no matter who we played. Last year was a pleasant surprise to me in all honesty. So sometimes things go against my theories but nobody was really dominant last year throughout the year. There were at least 6 teams that went back and forth of being the number 1 ranked team. One last thing, The team that I was the most scared of last year was Notre Dame. (I didn't think we could beat them) The other thing that was a huge pleasant surprise was how well Fudd played. I did not see that one coming. [/QUOTE]
