finally getting the schedule right as far as:
a) a good balance with emphasis on opponents that we can beat yet who are competitive enough to cause us to improve and learn. He's got 2-4 tough games, a bunch in the middle range, and only a couple of creampuffs.
b) getting the RPI stuff right. It doesn't take a lot of top 50 teams to do it. Look at Cuse who is ahead of us on RPI yet has almost no tough opponents. They of course are doing it wrong to a good extent because they are going to get bashed in the media for not having quality OOC wins and also by the committee for the same reason.
We're doing it right by having 3-5 opponents that might be considered quality wins, a bunch of middle teams that challenge us to improve and play well yet are beatable and give us solid rpi. And only a couple creampuffs that hurt our rpi and don't help improve our game (but maybe we need to put 2 in there for exams or whatever) or because we scheduled them before their programs crashed below the 250 rpi level.
Fordham is a perfect example. Strong rpi impact yet very beatable yet will help us learn and grow. Only a 4 hour drive. Reaches our alumni base when we play there, and could help in nyc recruiting. Well done JT3.
