When you schedule UD you know you are going to get a tough game, it just might be against a quad 3 school. UD has neither the sustained track record of success, (in the last half century), nor the name recognition to be an attractive game to P5 schools. They want to know that they are going in win by 30 or if they lose, that it will be a "good loss", UD can't offer either of those things currently.

When was Dayton a quad 3 school?
