Are they trying to finalize the OOC schedule and just release it all at once?
Only about 20% of d1 schedules have been released so we aren't alone

Sagarin (last year):
Alabama State, 341 (!!!)
Liberty, 223
Fort Wayne, 136
A wash, I'd say. Is it really worth playing #341 so you can maybe get #136 on the schedule? Are we even trying to schedule Top 150 teams/tournaments?
Wish we'd gotten Liberty or Ft Wayne first. Probably playing two 150+ RPI games instead of 300+ & 150+
Thu, Dec. 21 vs. Alabama State (SWAC) 342 @ New Orleans Shootout at Xavier Convocation Center Fri, Dec. 22 Liberty (Big South)/Fort Wayne (Summit) 167/171 @ New Orleans Shootout at Xavier Convocation Center
I like it. We usually play a couple of SWAC teams that are under 300 RPI. At least this way we get a game in our home state against a decent non conference team out of the deal.
Last Years Non-Conference Schedule with Previous Year's final RPI
2015-16 Final RPI 73 at South Carolina Columbia, S.C. 266 vs. Alabama State TAC 164 at Nebraska Lincoln, Neb. NCAA D2 vs. Oklahoma Baptist TAC 307 vs. Maryland Eastern Shore TAC California Bears Classic 22 at California Berkeley, Calif. California Bears Classic 332 vs. Southeastern Louisiana TAC California Bears Classic 252 vs. Alcorn State TAC California Bears Classic 145 at Louisiana-Lafayette Lafayette, La. 334 vs. Prairie View A&M TAC 350 vs. Grambling State Bossier City, La. Shreveport-Bossier Holiday Classic 196 vs. Florida Gulf Coast TAC NAIA vs. LSU-Shreveport TAC
I think this year's schedule is shaping up nicely. Still have 3 holes to fill - so we might get an LSUS/OK Baptist type game.
