Just noticed Creighton's non conference schedule - has to be the toughest in the nation? The 2014 w/l% for these teams would have been the best non con last year. They probably will need this - as the Big East could be worse this year. Miami OH Louisville Illinois USC Northern Iowa Kentucky Lipscomb CSU Bakersfield Pacific Nebraska Arkansas Wisconsin Kansas State Negative. I'm only showing this as a 67.3% 2014 W/L. Stanford is at 72.9%. Oregon is at 69.9%. That is based on 2014 overall, you might get somewhat different results by excluding the NCAA tournament. Edit: Excluding tourney C: 67.68%, UO: 69.96%, Stan: 72.91%

UNC pre-conference schedule is very tough also, but have not crunched the numbers. Playing Chicago State may pull down the W/L ratio a bit, but it seems brutal based on historical strength of these programs:
USC BYU Chicago State Wisconsin Minnesota Stanford UNC-Wilmington Michigan State Michigan
Other pre-conference schedules may be better for RPI purposes, but this one seems subjectively among the toughest.

I actually didn't validate my statement that it would have been the toughest w/l%, but it was higher than any that I checked including Stanford and Oregon.

I noticed this one after sending the Creighton schedule comment. UNC is 64.3% compared to 67.3% for Creighton. UNC only plays 9 matches vs. 13 for Creighton - so it is harder to compare. Certainly a case can be made that UNC's is tougher. Cannot get much harder than Stanford and Wisconsin - then add 4 more teams from the PAC and B1G + BYU. But then Creighton has Wisconsin, Nebraska and Illinois and many other quality teams.

My original comment was that Creighton's 2015 OOC w/l% was higher than anyone's 2014 OOC%.

Creighton can afford to drop more.

The Gainesville Florida Gators will have undergone several 2015 NCAA, oco, tourney teams (AVCA ranked/filed):
Nebraska (9-4) & Oregon (9-4) Texas (9/5)
Hawaii (9-11) San Diego State (9-12)
Florida State (9-21) ---
SDSU this year imo will overwhelm Colorado State.

Florida did schedule very tough, but they are not playing Nebraska. (Also, why is SDSU on that list? American and LIU much more likely to make the tourney).
I would put a ton of money on Colorado State, as well as a few other MWC teams, "overwhelming" SDSU.. Aztecs perpetually overrated on this board.

Reghan Pukis to UNLV, also, but she imo could've gone elsewhere IF she'd wanted.
Put your money down. Collins has been learning and growing in the game. that may be more than some can say *in all their entire career*. Fwiw, This is her year. --- This $C chic already declared?
My guess is that she goes to Nebraska where she can be redshirted (medical or not) for another year of eligibility. NU's got tons of 2015 OHs and she'd fit in with some love offered in Lincoln. other B1G teams are out! The Big-12 would be perfect, excepting Texas would be too much state imposed pressure, and ISU already has Bigbee.

You're holding out (as well as the whole vb world on this one, Wiscy). It did make you go on sorta a small-type-scramble tho?

I'm just unclear what Pukis going to UNLV, or Collins growing her game, have to do with schedules. It also seems you're talking about someone transferring. Probably Ebony. This is the fall schedule thread, not either of the transfer threads.

San Diego State might walk in to their MW schedule with a record of 2-10. Given that team chemistry has been an ongoing issue, I don't think that bodes well for them this year.

With UNC playing fewer pre-conference matches, each match has a lot more riding on it. Creighton can afford to drop more. I disagree. UNC has plenty of chances during their ACC schedule to make up for some early-season stumbles. Creighton may be in a one-bid conference this year and won't have those chances once Big East play starts.
