What middle of the road teams could SMU play next year?

[East Coast Mustang]

Why the love for BYU, though? they're not in a power conference either. And A-10 getting 6 in?

Jamie Zaninovich, the West Coast Conference Commissioner, is on the selection committee. I'm sure that helped...

Funny thing about the A10 is they lost the faces of their conference last year and got as many as any conference except for one... Such BS.

Richmond, St. Louis, Washington

I'd be happy to play and bottom feeders of P5 conferences. These teams will invariably end up with RPI's in the 50-150 range because of who they play on their schedule. I'd love to play teams like Auburn, OLe Miss, Oregon St., Penn State ect. Secondly this problem also will largely take care of itself if the middle of the AAC can take care of business out of conference. If Temple, Houston, and Tulsa all play better so we can get to 4 great teams and 3 ok teams the whole RPI of the conference will go way up.

UTEP finished with an RPI of 96 and is (relatively) close. They travel pretty well too.
Sam Houston St. had an RPI of 113. Keep them on the schedule!
UTA had an RPI of 200. This should be our dump game.
I also like LA Tech. RPI of 59 and will probably be dying for a good OOC game.
I would also love a middle of the road Big East team
And any other Big 12 team in addition to TCU (if they will grace us with their scheduling presence)

tcu hurt our rpi quote a bit

Figuring UI-Chicago will be coming to Moody. Especially, since SMU took Ben Moore & Sterling Brown home to Chicago

Indiana, Arkansas, and nc state (that's who else I thought I saw on here) will provide us with quality nit/lower ncaa teams, something we only had one of this year(arky). I hope we are able to get one or two games against top teams(maybe an ohio state or michigan team?), which they would probably demand to be played at the AAC. Other than that the biggest thing we need to avoid is the 250+ rpi teams, which hurt us. Scheduling teams around 150 instead of 250 make a huge difference, plus they're still easy wins.

[SMU 86]

Any CBI teams also.

[East Coast Mustang]

We should hit up some A10/Big East teams to get some more East Coast exposure...Seton Hall, Richmond, UMass, St. Joe's, Providence, etc.

And Harvard wouldn't hurt. Of course we wouldn't be able to tell the teams apart since we are both Harvard red.
