It's a mix of good, bad, and questions.
In terms of potential top-100 games, NC State is coming to Chicago (they were outside the top 100 last year), and we have the challenge game at Boise. UIC could surprise and end up being a good game, though not a mark-maker.
Then there's the Savannah MTE. We don't know the field yet, but it was weak last year.
With three games left to fill, one will probably be a buy game at a P5 school in the region. In recent years we've gone to Michigan St and Notre Dame. I'm also holding out hope that we will have a game against Northwestern as part of a Chicago double-header for the opening of DePaul's new arena, but that might be a pipe dream.
