I believe we can beat just about any bottom half Big 12, Big 10, Big East, and ACC school this year. This year's SEC seems different but I still think we stand a chance against a few of them... those bottom half of those conferences are the schools I'm asking to schedule though. Can you really know who will be good on any given year? No but you can kind of guess based on recent trends. The beauty of the portal is you see who a program is getting every season. It's not like before where you might have to guess how existing players progress or how freshmen do.
The bottom halves of those conferences have plenty of schools in your NET 50-150 range plus they come with some conference appeal.
ya, we don't need to be loading up with away trips to SEC and Big 12 schools, but there are plenty of pier programs in a similar position to us...top say 50-150 NET...that we could be better rounding out a schedule with.
Mountain West (New Mexico, Utah State)
Missouri Valley (Drake, UNI)
Conference USA (Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee)
McNeese, if they stay at their level
every school listed is top 150 NET with either regional or historical ties to our program. add in a 3 game tourney with an SEC/Big 12 school and a couple tune-up games in there, maybe against a lower-tier Texas school like SFA or Sam Houston, and you have a perfectly fine schedule
