Tennessee at home against Missouri State and Ole Miss hosting Murray State. Two games against high caliber mid majors. Those are the games a league needs to win for RPI and national perception purposes.

As 1 of about 100 people in attendance for the Missouri State vs. Arkansas State game at TBA last night, Missouri State is plenty good enough to upset UT.
Missouri State is NCAA Tournament field good. They're experienced enough that the atmosphere won't phase them This game is a really good early season test.
Ole Miss can go a long way towards finally getting over the hump and making the NCAAs this week. Beating Murray State and Dayton would give them two resume boosts right out of the gate.
I can vouch for this after seeing Murray State play at least twice a year for the past 5 years. They bring in very solid players and Kennedy is a good coach.
