Those Miami at UD games were not buy games for UD.

Which is nonsense. If we were returning the games to Akron/Ball State, would those games than be tougher this year in your eyes? It really has no effect on the current schedule.

Last year, we had Vandy and SMC at home, this year just Auburn at home. Why?
What good does it do to weaken the schedule? We now may have to win more games to make the NCAAT. It is somewhat of a zero-sum game: if you weaken the schedule, then you have to win more games to make the NCAAT.

Last year, we just had Alabama on the road. This year we have Miss St. and SMC. Same amount of H/H's, just locations switch from year to year.
The one time deal vs. Northwestern in Chicago was a different situation with two seniors from Chicago.
