I can’t even imagine fans of those schools do. Buffalo on the other hand will be playing another Top 15 Team tonight when they face Texas A&M.
Well, gee, I guess we should all strive to be more like that beacon known as Buffalo!
Oh, and good luck tonight...you're going to need it! LOL

NCAA has us with the 21st toughest schedule in the country and 50th in the RPi. I think we know how to schedule.

I agree that arguing about scheduling is extremely dumb but can we at least not be intellectually dishonest and equate middling D1 teams and bad ones?

Kansas and Syracuse not up to Buffalo’s standards? Congrats to Kent for getting a P5 home game. Last I recall for Toledo was Alabama during the Cross minute.

RE: MAC Basketball 12/11-12/17
Bulls fall 89-73 at #8 Texas A&M.. It was closer if not for late free throws. UB just had no answer for the size of Texas A&M inside.. THats why they are a top 10 team.

RE: MAC Basketball 12/11-12/17
Looking at the MAC with out-of-conference opponents, in the SAGARIN ratings:
Ball State over Notre Dame is the best OOC win; Ohio over Western Kentucky and UB over UAB are both wins over top-100 teams.
We're really cleaning up against winless teams - with Howard, YSU, Norfolk State, Florida A&M, Coppin State, MVSU, Alabama A&M, and Chicago State, the MAC has 9 wins over winless teams. Maybe some tougher scheduling would help the conference?
