Theres no way you can be #1 every year and its been stated as material fact that there is more to earning an NCAA bid than SOS. Wins count too -- sometimes even more so than SOS. The data is incontrovertible for teams in the A10. Its a multi-factor approach.
You either want the #1 SOS in the country every year and for UD to still go 26-6 against that schedule (rose-colored pipedream), or you want the #1 schedule in the country every year and for UD to go 20-13 and earn an NCAA bid (mathematical pipedream). Dayton must target the middle ground where the Selection Committee has routinely demonstrated a willingness to dole out bids -- not where they have shown an unwillingness to.
If we could go 29-3 and play the schedule Kansas does, we wouldnt be Dayton. We'd be Kansas.
