And there you go. WSU, MSU, and UNI put together good schedules. Ill. St. put together a decent schedule for the type of rebuild they are trying. There are several embarrassing numbers on there, but probably the worst is Indiana State's given that they KNEW they had a good team that should be trying to build a at-large resume.

The embarrassing thing is that SIU looked like a JV squad against that non-con schedule and then played well in the Valley. Go figure. At least Loyola, Evansville and Bradley had the decency to suck in both portions of the season.

That sort of thing doesn't bother me as much if teams are actually building something. Even if it's cyclical. I think Barry is building something.

The bears had the 3rd highest SOS in the league last year behind only UNI & WSU if the league wants to get better they put the scheduling mandate back in.

Definitely agree on the scheduling mandate. But I'll settle for UNI and MoSt giving themselves the best possible shot at an at large bid with smart scheduling. No beat down road games against Louisville, more games against fringe top 100 teams.
