Rating the Non-Conference Schedules

by **wildjays** » October 11th, 2010, 11:56 am

We did a little analysis of the non-conference schedules over at White & Blue Review. Take a gander and see if this is about right. Looks like Jim Les is going to go with guns firing this season. I really think it is make or break for Bradley this year.

Why I am not suprised that Illinois State's non-conference RPI is the worst by a mile?

I agree. A great breakdown. I'm also in agreement that the Valley needs to schedule up. That's going to be the only way it gets off the roll of being a one-bid conference.

Thanks for all the time you put into this. Was a very in depth look at some of the discrepancies of our leagues non-conference schedules. Good Work!!

Very thoughtful and extra well written.

I like a man, who speaks with facts.

Too much stuff. My brain exploded. That said, all I really made out of all the numbers is that the Valley seems to be trending downward in scheduling and Illinois State is proudly blazing the trail.

Don't worry about that RPI. Selection committee said they don't even look at it anymore. It's the SOS you have to worry about.

...Of course that stance could always change depending on if it helps squeeze in a few extra BCS teams over mid-majors.
