RE: 2026-2027 Non-Con Thread
As of right now, the league has between 52-58 non-conference games scheduled against the P4 (not including Gonzaga):
Butler: 3
UConn: 7
Creighton: 5-6
DePaul: 4
Georgetown: 4-5
Marquette: 6
Providence: 4-6
Seton Hall: 4-5
St. John's: 5-6
Villanova: 5
Xavier: 5
Notable games against mid-majors:
Butler @ Boise State
Creighton vs. Gonzaga
DePaul vs. USF
DePaul @ Saint Louis
Providence @ Rhode Island
Villanova's three games in the Philly Six
To me the goal should be 57 games against the P4 (which is very possible).
That would represent 43.1% of games against the P4.
Last year it was 41.3%.
I'm going to say something that will not be popular but the Philly Six should just be a one day event with a triple header at the Palestra. The matchups should rotate over a five year period. Nova only has 12 non-con games and playing a quarter of them against decent mid-major competition really hurts their ability to have a balanced scheduled.
I am disappointed that DePaul schedule USF and Saint Louis. No upside to either contest. They should have scheduled a fifth P4 game and had seven buy games.

Butler added a P4 game against Georgia Tech.
53-60 games against the P4 now scheduled.
Butler: 4
UConn: 7
Creighton: 5-7*
DePaul: 4*
Georgetown: 4-5*
Marquette: 6*
Providence: 4-6
Seton Hall: 4-5
St. John's: 5-6
Villanova: 5
Xavier: 5
The goal I would say is 57. It's going to be very close. Edit: Didn't realize Creighton is potentially playing four games in Vegas.
