If our best team is 117 we would probably be a 15 seed. Yikes

Not necessarily seems the power conferences take up the top spots a lot more now. Usually the MAC is around 100 for best team and is a 13/14

I just looked up the Ken Pom ratings myself with a goal of finding, among other things, future MAC member UMASS. Amusingly they were 117 and Ohio was in fact 116

Gonzaga hasn’t been a basketball mid-major in 25 years.
I was thinking that top 4 in the MAC seems like a reasonable goal for the conference season. Hoping to take a step to the upper tier this year.

Ignoring the obvious buy games of Michigan and IU, App State and Vermont will be tough road games. Wright State and Air Force should be close home games, but I think if you want to prove you’ve moved into the top 4 of the MAC, those are games that should be wins. I’d be disappointed with anything other than a winning non-conference schedule, assuming no surprises between now and when the games are played.
