Tough “potential” schedule that schedule is insane. I don’t see them beating Missouri, Utah, Kentucky, Texas, Illinois either time, USC, and maybe even Creighton. I don’t see how they can beat any of those teams.

Is Northern Iowa the first D1 team to post a schedule?

MAAC tourney in Orlando? I feel like that could easily be on the chopping block.

And that would be with a redshirt freshman setter and no spring workouts, after having graduated their setter, leading attacker, and libero.

I don’t see how they can beat any of those teams. Welcome to being a mid-major. You want a sniff at an at large bid, god forbid an opportunity at a seed? You need insanely tough OOC’s. The good part about that is once you are an established mid major, you will have all the big dogs calling your name. See: BYU, Creighton, San Diego, Western Kentucky, etc.

That's the point; if they lose, it doesn't hurt them, if they win it's probably going to look really good by the end of the season.

Winning matches is always the most important regardless who you play. Better to play and beat the best team you can schedule. Don't get sucked in believing losing to a solid team will help your RPI,...it doesn't. JUST WIN BABY!!!

I trust the scheduling strategy of a coach that has gotten her mid-major team into the past 5 NCAA tournaments (with only 1 of those 5 being as an automatic qualifier) over the scheduling advice of some random person on an internet forum.

Don't get sucked in believing losing to a solid team will help your RPI,...it doesn't. JUST WIN BABY!!! That's a pretty banal statement from a fan of a team which scheduled Pitt, Utah, Colorado & Kentucky last year. The win against Utah kept Cal Poly afloat in the RPI. Obviously you have to win but if you think 3 wins against Fullerton are as good as 2 losses and a win against three top 15 ranked teams, you're wrong.

Obviously you have to win but if you think 3 wins against Fullerton are as good as 2 losses and a win against three top 15 ranked teams, you're wrong. CAL POLY was ranked #23 at the start of season. During the OOC things dipped badly mostly because they had few wins playing a difficult schedule (7-5) (one win over #16 Utah big help). (Going 12-0 or 10-2 in OOC,...playing no top 20 teams and only losing to top 25 teams better for the RPI.) It was conference play (13-3) and wins over #19 UH & RV UCSB that made the difference.

Bobbie and her AD staff know exactly what they are doing.
DI Volleyball RPI Standard Formula: 1. Team’s Winning Percentage = 25% of RPI 2. Team’s Opponent’s Winning Percentage = 50% of RPI 3. Team’s Opponents’ Opponents’ Winning Percentage = 25% of RPI
Modification: For each opponent on a team’s schedule, that opponent’s record does not include the game with the team in question. So after a pair of team’s first game of the year, their Opponents Winning Percentage will both be 0. If you play a team twice, each game, and thereafter each team is counted separately for this calculation. For instance, if a team is 5-2, and you played them twice, Winning one and losing once, one record will be 4-2, while the other will be 5-1.
Adjustment Bonuses & Penalties: 1. Double Bonus for wins against RPI teams 1-25. 2. Single Bonus for wins against RPI teams 26-50. 3. Single Penalty for losses between RPI 285-309. 4. Double Penalty for losses RPI 310 and above. 5. Double Bonus for 50% or more of OOC games against RPI 1-75. 6. Double Penalty for 50% or more of OOC games against RPI 260 and above.
The bonuses and penalties are added to the standard RPI score of a team, and then teams are reranked using adjusted RPI values. The adjusted RPI is what the NCAA tournament committee uses. I do not know what the Bonus-Penalty value is.
OOC games against RPI teams 1-75 are high-value Opponents. If you have 50% or more you get the OOC Double Bonus. If you can beat an RPI 1-50 team you earn more bonus. Plus teams with a RPIs 1-75 are teams that win a high percentage of their own games, and those winning percentages are 50% of your standard RPI calculation.
Rankings have zero value in the RPI calculation, although I do believe a couple years ago tournament committees added the resources they could use to set the bracket. Someone else can confirm that or debunk it.
