Top 351 DI programs, in order ...

Based on SI.com/cbb and it's unique statistical formula, here's how Marquette stacks up against the other schools on its schedule heading into the 2015-16 season.

Note: There are 351 NCAA Division I schools in 2015-16 and SI ranked all 351 teams based on its statistical formula. Seven of MU's non-league games this season are scheduled against teams ranked above 300, which obviously will hindered MU's RPI. In order to overcome that drawback, Marquette must do well in its 5 non-league games against quality opponents, i.e., Belmont, Arizona State/North Carolina State, LSU, Iowa, Wisconsin.
