RPIs from last year. Not a fantastic schedule on paper, mostly because I'd guess the apparent chances for good wins (Utah, St Joes, Tulsa, Hawaii), will all be down significantly this year. But also seems to avoid major 275+ RPI-bombs, though I'm guessing those teams are getting difficult to schedule as they are all too busy playing SIU and MSU. I would think ISU would need to go at least 8-2 against that lineup to keep at-large hopes viable.

Thanks for posting. Like seeing the schedules. Something to chew in August.

Our schedule doesn't really get you excited looking at the names but it's decent-slightly above average. After last years tough slate you can understand trying to find that middle ground in scheduling. There were rumors of us playing FGCU and/or Iowa but those deals must not have been able to be completed. If we have a good non-con I think we will have a chance going into conference play. Will be interested in hearing what coach muller says about the schedule

Are both of those non-DI games regular season games? Having two of those seems like a bad idea.

Quincy is exhibition game.

Cool, thanks. Looks like there is another Diamond Head game not listed. Solid if unspectacular schedule.

Missouri State is offering refunds on season tickets if you don't like how they play during the OOC season...

If only they offered refunds on NCAA shares if earners didn't like how they scheduled during the OOC season.
