According to Sagarin every team we've played is from a conference ranked higher than the Sun Belt. Realtime RPI has the Sun Belt ahead of the Summit (ORU). We are holding our own against teams from higher rated leagues. Can't say that about most Belt members.

Once again a plus for our scheduling this year. Best in history. Hope we can continue to schedule this way.

This year shows how that scheduling is somewhat blind, though. Teams can go up or down drastically from the time when the oroginal contract was signed.

No question about that. There's certainly an element of luck. Consider this. Assuming the schedule was made last year for this year, Oklahoma probably thought this would be a great year to schedule Arkansas. They lost every key player...would be depending on last years reserves and some freshman. What a great year to schedule them. Wrong! How do you figure they could do what they have done? You couldn't. Just the luck of the draw.
