It is too bad that UD chose not to schedule like they do now, when the A10 was stronger.

San Diego State has also beaten us handily in terms of overall sos over many years.

Also, VCU, since they joined the A10, has beaten us handily in overall sos over many years.

Even UMass has beaten us handily in overall sos over many years.
But you have to eyeball and schedule in advance and not short term.

The toughness of the A10 doesn't mean a thing if we actually handle business in the A10. If we are in the bottom half of the A10, then sure, our overall SOS is going to be garbage. The assumptions made in scheduling deal with where we "should" finish in the A10 and where the A10 "should" be year to yer.

The backdoor scheduling goes on well in advance of the end of the previous season. Look at CFB. OSU knows who they are playing years down the road. I find it pretty probable that UD will have their irons in the fire with other opponents at Atlantis, hoping to score a series 2 to 4 years from now. In that case, we have no idea how tough that school will be tin 2 to 4 years and we don't know how tough the A10 will be.

UD can't simply decide to make their OOC that much better just because the assumption is that the A10 will be down. It has to be statistical probabilities over a period of time.

I agree that UD doesn't have the A10 X scheduling model. It would be nice, but do the numbers add up in terms of financials and SOS.
