I ran the rpi wizard, if we win both, that change results in:
Old rpi and sos: 146 and 66
New rpi and sos: 127 and 53
A 19 point rpi improvement.

(2018-2019 = first year head coach, preseason picked to finish 9th out of 14 teams behind Old Dominion, North Texas, UTSA, etc.)
Who should we add for the 2020-2021 season as a home (away?) game, and the 2021-2022 season as an away (home?) game who is non-P5, on their way to a multi-year upswing, won't have major defections of big name talent, and their coach will be consistent? Asking for a friend who does scheduling for an A10 university.
Oh, and could you tell me the price of gold in 2022 as well so I know if I should buy or short?
