And you can narrow this down even further by subtracting teams that we have already played this year as they don't do rematches.
Also anyone who's really good - I'd say .500 or better won't be an opponent as they try and match games by team strength.

RE: ESPN Bracket Buster
Is Tennessee State the same school as Middle Tennessee state, or are those two different schools? If they are different, where is Tennessee State located, I know MTSU is near Nashville?

Also, am I the only one who could not place any of these schools on a map: Towsom, Sienna, Rider, Fairfield? I don't know a single thing about any of those schools.

How good are UIC, Valpo, UW-Milwaukee this year? Any of those would be a reasonable road game for our guys. After the start of this season I'd prefer we don't end up with another long road trip.

MTSU and TSU are too different schools. MTSU is in Murfreesburo which is just a bit south of Nashville.
Those other schools are all in the NY, NJ area - Fairfield is in CT.
Of the rest Valpo would be the most likely opponent. I don't think UIC is possible because we are supposed to play them next year already and with the return game in the BBuster - we'd have to play them twice. MIlwaukee is probably too good esp on the road.
Hope this helps.

I predict Youngstown State. We match up with them record wise and they are of relative close proximity.
