Makes a great point

Eh it nothing everybody on this board doesnt know. Good mids will never get the big boys to play them. They will always pick off the lower tier mids or low majors for their buy games and then will face other power conference teams to boost the non conference. Unfortunately there is 0 incentive for the power schools to play good mid majors, and even less to play them at their place. Syracuse, who was considered a snub, proved that this year with their god awful non conference that had bad losses. All they need to do is win a few games in conference and the conference will take care of the rest of the number-inflating needed to make the tournament.

Ironically, this is one of the better non conf schedules for Cuse. They played a decent SC team, Wisc, (uconn and G'town both who are usually very good).
