With an RPI of #16. We handle business this weekend and we are going to move very close to the bubble.

Its great to be in the conversation again. I'll admit it looked bleak after the UMass loss but to be talking about potentially being the #2 in the conference or being on the bubble is awesome. One game at a time, but we beat Michigan and Maryland beats OSU, we'd be in sole possession of 2nd place (technically a tie for 1st, but OSU owns the tiebreaker).

Great to control our own destiny at this point after the rough OOC schedule. Credit the staff though on the SOS number. This isn't by accident. They combed through schedules and rosters to help make predictions on what other teams would do our SOS, and made changes where they could. I believe they may have had help from the academic side on this. There are really only a few opportunities to do so with the B1G schedule and built in rivalries that we already have in Princeton and Army. Those games are negotiable.

One team I would look for as an add might be Villanova in the near future. We have a history with them already, they are close, in an area we are recruiting heavily now, and would typically be good for the SOS and RPI.

Like the idea of Villanova. Plus like the tougher opening opponent like we had with Lehigh this year (though they turned out to not be that good). Got to keep Loyola and I hope we can keep UMass on the schedule.

Of course, would not mind an away game at Utah - I'd travel to that game. Hear that's a great field to see.
 
Yea, Loyola is staying on the schedule as long as our two coaches are here. That's become a good game for both of us, and there is nothing more that Brian likes than going down to Baltimore and winning. We are on a nice little streak against them. Wouldn't be surprised if Toomey makes an assistant change somewhere. They have too much going for them to be sitting on 1 win. They have a very solid alum group and support from the school.

Wouldn't mind switching out Villanova for Lehigh or maybe even LIU, not that the latter two are in the same class.
