2023 Conference Opponents

[EastStang]

Wow even not updated, if you look at AAC and CUSA listings we're about 30 points ahead of the next best team (after you get rid of UCF, Cincy and UH) which is USF. And the CUSA adds are about 60-150 points below us. That is a huge talent gap. Now in the PAC-12 we'd be about 7th but 200 points behind Oregon.

[DC-Pony]

Yeah, exactly. And this is before all our new recruits factor into the roster talent calculation, which will increase that gap with the rest of the AAC foes.

The calculations aren't fully representative, for some reason. For instance, I saw that Camar Wheaton's talent "value" is reflected as 'NA'. Don't know if that is something that will be fixed when they update the calculations later in the year.

But, these calculations give us a rough assessment of how our talent stacks up relative to others. Against our current conference, we stack up VERY favorably. Nationally, we're currently 55th. So, if this calculation is to be respected it gives us a reality check with how we stack up...we're definitely getting better, but have a ways to go to compete against some of the best nationally on talent alone.

And when it comes to accuracy, this last season we pretty much beat everyone behind us and lost to everyone ahead of us. We upset one team (Houston) and got "upset" by one team (Tulane). But it pretty much plays out.

I would expect after our transfers are calculated, we will be in the 40s, which is a great spot to be in when you are outside of the P5.

[DC-Pony]

A great confirmation of how you win, not with the Xs and Os, but the Jimmies and Joes (or PJs and LJs as the case may be).

Anyone know when the conference will set the dates for conference games? Hoping to get to Memphis this year.
