Maybe Kellogg is z-8 (re: Norlander's tweet).

As opposed to Richmond:

Road games at 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,14

Home games at 2,3,9,11,12,13,15,16

Why don't we just switch SLU with FU and be done with it?
We could be a hell of a team and it might not make any difference.

**xu95** · 10-04-2012, 09:24 AM

I think the prediction for Xavier might be a little high. The scary part for the A-10 is that Xavier can pull a Temple this year and lose most to all of their OOC games and then win a lot of games in conference. I firmly believe, while not up to Xavier standards, the Xavier team you see in February will not be the Xavier team you see in November.

ANO made preseason All-Rookie team last year. So did the competition increase that much this year?

BM-GW · 10-04-2012, 09:39 AM

GW... Yikes:

Home: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14

Away: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 15, 16

Ouch.

It appears that a 15th-place finish would be a moral victory for the Mighty Dukes.

That's an amazingly balanced schedule.

Somewhat favorable?

njlsufan · 10-04-2012, 09:51 AM

Ouch. The A-10 coaches, semi-knowledgeable publications and informed fans are all picking Dayton to finish on average in 9th place.

It appears that an 8th-place finish would be a moral victory for the Mighty Flyers.

It's looking more and more like ol' 8-8 is there to stay.

Knobby · 10-04-2012, 10:00 AM

That's PYP funny - Muddy you are the only one with Dayton in the top half of the conference (never mind 2nd place)!

waldo027 · 10-04-2012, 10:13 AM

Xavier finishing ahead of Dayton this season would be the funniest thing ever.

SDW · 10-04-2012, 10:20 AM

Richmond's conference SOS should be incredible. I don't think I have ever seen anything like that road schedule before. Hadn't looked at the schedule much yet. Swiping some road games could really be a huge RPI boost for the Spiders.

Hopefully statheads will be more involved in sorting out things like this where unbalanced schedules lead to huge home/road discrepancies and W/L records (and conference standings) are totally not the reflection of a team's quality.

UMass87 · 10-04-2012, 10:50 AM

UR definitely has a tough row to hoe.

UMass is almost perfectly balanced:

home: 1,4,6,8,10,13,15,16
away: 2,3,7,9,11,12,14,15
