Part of what irritates me about the OOC strength of schedule talk, especially from someone like Quint, is the implication that unless you play an ACC team, your OOC is poor. It also gets away from regional rivalries or watching games against new teams. Was Utah a powerhouse, nope, but was fun seeing RU play them last year. Would like to see them play again - especially for a road trip in Utah.
It also doesn't take into account the conference schedule. Yes, if you are GT or Denver, you probably need an ACC (or B1G) on the schedule since you play a league with some very poor teams such as Providence or St. John's. Meanwhile, RU will have conference games against at least 4 teams in the top 15, with 1 or 2 possibly top 5 by the time we play.
