USM has filled out it's OOC schedule

host North Alabama (buy games)
host Jacksonville St (return games from last year)
at UL-Lafayette (return games from last year)
at Dallas Baptist (assuming they will come here next year as a home and home deal)

-we have the 10 weekend CUSA series of 3 games each
-we have some midweek games already scheduled with Alabama at home, Ole Miss away and neutral, and from last year we should have South Alabama for 2 at our place and 1 at theirs.
-that gives up 48 of a possible 56 games

Below is the average RPI for each team since 2014 (omitted 2020) and the # of bids (out of 7). That was the first year for the majority of teams who moved conferences last time.

And this was just a way to pass the time while I wait for my flight. It isn't meant to be taken too seriously.

Last year (2021) was included. 2020 was the year we played ~16 games before COVID cancelled all of spring sports.

Rice is the first CUSA school to release their full schedule so hopefully others will follow suit in the coming day/weeks.

Rice and ODU don't play each other so that's the one series each they miss.

Wichita St. will travel to Ruston to start the season with a three game series on 2/18 - 2/20.

Wichita State 2022 schedule

That should be a great series.

USM has a creampuff to start the season but the final 3 OOC series should be good for RPI based off last year and past years:

North Alabama (283 last year)
Jacksonville St (137 last year)
@ULL (111 last year)
@Dallas Baptist (42 last year)

midweek games so far include home games vs Alabama, UNO, Ole Miss, and South Alabama x2 with road games vs South Alabama, UNO and a netural site vs Ole Miss

Rice has a "bimodal" OOC weekend schedule in 2022.

-@Texas (CWS LY)
-Lamar (178 RPI LY)
-Harvard (Had no season)
-Texas Tech (Super Regional LY)

For midweeks, we are home/away vs. HBU, home vs. Baylor, home/away/neutral vs. UH, home vs. SFA, home/away vs. SHSU, home vs. A&M Corpus, home x2 vs. ULL, and home vs. Texas A&M.
