Boyds World shows schedules for D1 teams this year and it's interesting to see the direction of some mid-majors. While my personal favorite team is IL-Chicago, I see their non-conference schedule as being challenging to the point of pain. In this order throughout the year
Texas (4)
Alabama (4)
Vanderbilt (4)
Missouri (2)
Creighton (3)
Notre Dame
Granted the elites will say "whats your point" and that may be true because of the conference affiliations. But, this is one example of the little guys beginning to feel they can compete. Take a look. Does anyone else feel their favorite mid major,elite team for that matter, is stepping up with their non-conference schedules regardless of how it affect the post season or their records in general.
