[KMWTRUCKS]

I would like us to do 1 more HM home and homes. I know we might win less games but our SOS and RPI would be higher plus I would not mind paying the same for one less game. If we did 4 every year (right now 3) and got one less home game. The buy games are worthless for me living in Chicago and I cannot even really give them away.

If we lose, the RPI is not going to be higher. If you need an example, look at the 2013-14 season.

[KMWTRUCKS]

Does it go higher by beating North West south state college at home? It does not seem like it.

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

To help RPI we need to schedule less teams with an RPI below 200, it didn't work out well for us last year in that regard... We played more than enough top 50 teams

Does it go higher by beating North West south state college at home? It does not seem like it.

The problem was the level of the buy games. Need to stay in the 100-200 range for those and get lucky with a couple ending up between 75-100.

The RPI was not helped by losses at UW and ASU, along with New Mexico and SDSU.

[MU/Panther]

Problem was MU was 1-5 vs teams with a pulse in the non-conference.

[KMWTRUCKS]

The thing is good low major teams can really dictate who they play and how much they get paid. The top 1/2 of mid Majors do not do buy games so its only the bottom 1/2 and low majors and ones that can show that they should be in the to be top 1/3 of there league can get a buy game from just about anyone.

[MU/Panther]

Georgetown will play Indiana at MSG on Saturday, Dec 27.
