Message: [QUOTE="Omahabound, post: 5010221, member: 12923"] The KState/Cincy midweeks, UCLA/UC Irv. midweeks and Auburn true road series were difference makers. Less NE schools and a couple more midweeks vs. some P5 when traveling to the Midwest or somewhere else for conference play (ie KSTATE scheduling Uconn/NE coming east later in the season) it benefited them certainly. I believe those wins will always carry more weight for an at-large then conference record (unless the BE continues to ascend into a top 4 conf). I think some unexpected noise in this years tournament could certainly help in getting a 3 game series in Georgia Texas Miss St. LSU Texas AM etc. I still believe Uconn is more of a risk to these schools without bringing the beneficial impact of winning a series vs Uconn. That can realistically change soon and I think it’s an opportunity that would go a long way in scheduling/recruiting. [/QUOTE]
