I ran the rpi wizard. I dropped 2 home a10 games, and I dropped 2 a10 away games. The 4 a10 teams that I dropped were all middle of the pack teams for the 2016-2017 season.
I dropped Davidson, SBU, GW, and George Mason.
I added 4 home games vs. #200 Morehead State.
UD's rpi and sos went from 30 and 71 to 36 and 89.
Your idea seems to make things worse, not better.

It really comes down to replacing some conference losses with non-conference wins. The more conference games, the more conference losses you are locking in before the season. The best the A10 can do as whole in conference is finish .500.
A10 Win% (2016-17)
Conference: 126-126 (.500)
Non-Conference: 104-66 (.612)
