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

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.

This is how to think about it. Middling opponent who plays in a great league.
