SI's toughest OOC Schedules

[StarRaider]

Pardon the Interruption to the month-long bashfest but this is a pretty good preseason read.

Austin Freeman, Georgetown have nation's toughest schedule - Luke Winn - SI.com

If you want to see an absolutely incredible nonconference schedule, check out Oakland's. They obviously think they're going to win the Summit and want to be ready for the 'AAs.

OK, I'm not trying to mudsling or anything, but I don't know about UK at 2....or Georgetown at 1, for that matter.

Yeah kind of funny that one of the notable Georgetown games is Charlotte on a neutral court (possible) while UT plays a ROAD GAME at Charlotte and that game is not considered.

I think UT's OOC is better than Georgetown.

I think it depends largely on how the Maui invitational plays out for a couple of the teams. Either way, Gtown is not #1 IMO. With how they have it laid out, I would place it in this order. (Regardless of what the mouth breathers think, its not with bias)

1)UK
2)Mich St
3)UT
4)Texas
5)Gtown

Are you taking Kanter into account with these rankings?

I don't see how Kanter makes any difference in the difficulty of a non-con schedule. NC, Mich St, Washington etc..... are all still the same teams with or without Kanter.

Non-con schedules are about the strength of the teams you face, and is correlated to your teams strength. The NFL, MLB, NBA, all use the same formulas.
