RPI:

107-Tennessee State
138-Georgia State
11-(2 of 3)Florida State
39-(2 of 3)Notre Dame
69-(2 of 3)Saint Joseph's
202-UT San Antonio
324-Cal State Northridge
74-vs.Montana
33-@Iowa State
143-Utah State
274-Utah
71-@Weber State
(ERROR)-Eastern New Mexico
9-@Baylor
337-Northern Arizona
115-vs.Virginia Tech

CS-N, ENM, and NAU are the unacceptable games on this year's schedule. UTSA isn't really that great either.

BYU's RPI last year was 46. I expect us to be slightly worse than last year, but still good.

That means... I predict bad losses to Florida State or Notre Dame and Baylor, and a close loss on the road at Iowa State. Scares against Tennessee State, St. Joe's, Montana, Utah State, Weber, and Virginia Tech. That's an 11-3 record, 3-3 against the Top 100, and 2-3 against last year's Tourny teams. Oh, and 3-0 in-state, & 2-0 in Salt Lake City (about the same wins as Utah will have this upcoming season).

The "Utah" after Cal State Northridge made me think that Utah's RPI was 304, and I thought, were they really that bad????? Then I figured out my mistake, moved down the list, and was comforted to find that they weren't that bad--they were a whole ten spots better at 294.

I'm not exactly happy about:
UT San Antonio
Cal State Northridge
Eastern New Mexico
Northern Arizona

What ever happened to the WAC, MWC, and C-USA? Let alone the MAC and the Sunbelt...

Wow! Cupcake city more than usual? It's certainly a way to pad the record. Good for building confidence and rhythm in the O, but maybe lead to overconfidence? Hopefully we can steal one back from Baylor with a few of their folks gonzo in RP III and Asey.
Hard of say whether this is uninspiring to Jabari. Big programs play cupcakes as well. But of FAR more importance, will Jabari be able to actually VIEW the games--and will his parents be able to if he comes to BYU-- and the resounding answer is YES! YES! YES!
C'mon Jabari. You would be ESPN's poster child!!!! And the envy of all other big time recruits, bc while they will be buried in early season irrelevancy, you would be making highlights on live tv and then making the top ten plays of the day regularly!

17 games, if I counted right. BYU should go about 15-2 with that schedule.

I hope this schedule does not hurt our chances for J Parker.

Really good road schedule, pathetic home schedule. Utah state is the best we can get? That sucks.

I would like to see better rpi or name teams. Only 1 PAC12 team and it is their worst. A couple of WAC teams. Too bad the MWC won't play us. Those would be better too.
