MAAC Non-Conference Schedules

[SaintMisbehavin]

Bored Off-Season Post Alert - I thought it'd be interesting to stack up each MAAC team's non-conference slates next to one another for comparison's sake (see attachment). Home games are in Bold.

Most Common MAAC Opponents (games played vs. MAAC teams to the right):
Cornell      4
Hartford    4
Ualbany    4
Vermont    4
Brown       3
Bucknell    3
Dartmouth 3
St. Bonaventure 3
Wagner     3
Too many teams to list w/ 2. 

Most Difficult Non-Con - Monmouth, and it's not particularly close. Holy power conference opponents Batman. They also don't play a home game until December 13th. 

Weakest Non-Con - Marist is the only team to have zero traditional power conference opponents (including Big East). Even besides that, their schedule simply doesn't intrigue me. I know they could be in for a tough season, anyways, but they're already frontrunners to have a 300+RPI/SOS/KenPom. 

Most interesting common opponent (in my opinion) - two schools (Iona, Quinnipiac) both traveling out to play at Oregon St. 

What say ya'll? Any non-Siena matchups you're interested in watching? Which teams have the best chance of beating a power conference foe? Who's going to have an ugly record coming into the heart of MAAC play in January?

I know everyone says it's all about the wins but I would prefer to see us play all out of conference against power BCS schools. It would make for a better prepared team for the MAAC...It would help with recruiting...and would raise our national image. I realize that we would have to sacrifice the number of home games we have but we would have at least 10. Also when and if we got better it would be harder to get the games as we have seen in the past but if Butler and Gonzaga can do it following that path so can we.

Plus think of the $$$$ we would get.

They did not follow that path
