Does playing SFA next year help our strength of schedule? I am sure they would come to Moody and play us.

They are on like a 29 game win streak, right? Why is wichita st #1 and sfa is unranked?

Their RPI was similar to ours at the end of the season. I wouldn't schedule them simply because they were in a conference that is so bad that one conference loss could completely tank their RPI. For example, they only beat Northwestern State by 2 at home. Had they lost that game, their RPI would have dropped from 52 to 71.

That SFA coach did a masterful job getting the Lumberjacks prepared for VCU...

Interesting. What is the source for that?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that site. I was thinking maybe you did the math yourself and I was going to be impressed.

I'm definitely not that smart. Or that patient.

I had SFA winning that game, but boy did that VCU guys blow it by going anywhere near the three point shooter. That was one ginormous mistake.
