Looks like we got the best possible outcome with only one game vs. ECU/Tul/USF

Nice!

2 games each vs UCF, Houston, SMU, Wichita State, UConn, and Temple
+
Florida, Xavier, UCLA, Iowa*, Mississippi State
+
Tulsa, Memphis x2, Tulane, ECU, USF, Wyoming/UAB

What am I missing? That's 24 out of 31 with at least 17 really legit games.

For once, the American got it right. Maybe they learned something from last year..really happy with this outcome. Heck, even our road games will be more like home games. Tampa has a big UC Alum base and if the Rallycats make their trip to the N.O. we will dominate that arena.

You have to give the athletic department credit. The schedule is looking excellent this year.

It's probably the best schedule we will have in this current conference. Could improve the preseason tourney but there isn't much else we could improve on with the schedule. I think we control our seed this year

Honestly amazed the American did this. So blatant but absolutely the right thing.

I think they kinda have to if they want to be taken serious. It's what's best for everyone in the conference

Only 3 games against the leagues worst teams.

I love it. Our conference will be the hardest it's been since year 1
