We thought we had a though OOC schedule.....

Pitt is 64, ECU is 78, Boise is 112 and Ohio is 129

We do have a tough OOC. Boise may not have a tough schedule (that’s what the 112 represents) but they’re supposed to be good. Their ESPN CPI is 35.

Pitt is 56.

Ohio is 85.

ECU is 99.

 

[31Herd55]

Gotta remember...we face 8 teams in the worst ( maybe next-to-worst) conference in all of D-1.

My uneducated opinion is that there are at least100 (and probably much more) with a much tougher schedule (home & away) than MU....as I stated on another board....."It is what it is".

 

[GoHerdMarshallYes]

I'm not going to complain, this is the very type of schedule people wanted...both brand names and beatable opponents.

But as per usual, if Doc wins, they'll reference this and say Doc didn't beat anyone good.

Then again its the preseason and with programs being cut as well as limited practices, who knows.

I predict that this schedule will show up harder than the experts predict.Isay at least 10-15 spots harder

when you play 8 games vs CUSA schools of which most are in the bottom 40, it is tough to go much higher

Yep. Rice and ODU were a combined 4-20 in 2019 and we play both of them in 2020.

 

[31Herd55]

We are better than Rice.

And 1 title to show for it

 

[31Herd55]

We aren’t as good as we’re told we are.

We’re better than Rice.

we used to be better than Charlotte.

 

[GoHerdMarshallYes]

"Oh woe is me..."

"Oh woe is me..."
