Buffalo has only played five top 100 teams all year. Cincinnati will have played 16 by the end of the week (non-counting WSU at 101, Xavier will have played 21. Buffalo's schedule really isn't even close to any of the high majors.

Gonzaga has played 14 top 100. Nevada has played 10. VCU has played 9. Washington has played 13.

There is a big drop off between the elite power conference, the high majors, and then the mid-majors in terms of schedule difficulty. The old top 100 or cutoff for quality wins is a really good place to start at when looking at schedules.
