She could have schedule tougher teams or is she learning from last year’s pre-season mistake? In 2023, Beach schedules Murderer's row, Cal Poly schedules Barbie's playhouse. Will be interesting how it pans out for both of them.

They should have at least 9 out of 12 preseason wins from this schedule.

It looks to me that this schedule is all about RPI.

It looks to me that this schedule is all about RPI. Getting wins early in your schedule helps the RPI more than getting wins later,...as a rule. CAL POLY is still going to be untested despite returning their starting nine. Coach Walters most probably will be juggling players for the first 2-3 matches. Which can be hard on a team's success. This has been the case the last two seasons. Why POLY is not playing an exhibition match or "Green and Gold" alumni match early will not help.

Can a 2023 CAL POLY Lady'stang team beat a Iowa Hawkeye team right out of the box??? Coach Walters will take her team up to Sacramento for their very first encounter with a legitimate college opponent, the Hawkeyes, on Aug 25th.

Will CAL POLY's Annabelle Thalken be that diamond in the rough coach Walters is hoping? The 6'3 OH from Sacramento did not play in her sophomore season due to an injury. She did have a good freshman campaign. http://instagram.com/p/CuSOPQAyarW

It looks to me that this schedule is all about RPI. Getting wins early in your schedule helps the RPI more than getting wins later,...as a rule. RPI does not care when you play a match. At any given time in the season, the only inputs to the raw RPI is your win/loss record (25%), your opponents win/loss record (50%), and your opponents-opponents win/loss record (25%). The adjusted RPI gives additional points for wins and losses to teams within a given range, as well as a shceudling bonus for having over 50% of your non-conference matches against teams in the top 75, but, again, it doesn't matter when those matches are played. The committee may, as it is a defined secondary selection criteria, look at the teams record in the last 10 matches. That goes counter to your argument of winning early helps more than getting wins later. Lastly, I have a hard time seeing how this non-conference is all about RPI. Out of the 11 non-conference opponents, only 5 had winning records last year and only two (JMU and Washington) finished the year in the top 75. I have a hard time seeing how a probable non-conference opponent win/loss record under .500 with no scheduling bonus is good RPI inputs for a team playing in the Big West.

My sinple deduction is that regardless of a win or a lost, playing a team in conferences that will have a guaranty boost in RPI will provide your team a higher RPI pre-conference. Then say if your teams’ conference has low RPI teams, as you play each one, your RPI will take huge RPI hits but may still keep you in the bubble range which is a lot better than being in RPI basement. To me, it’s maximizing the possibility of boosting your RPI before conference, Hawai’i does it all the time. We know thats the most reliable way to boost you RPI. And bonus if you beat a team or two along the way. The trick is to be good enough so that your potential opponents would want to schedule you.
