At the start of the season, some on RingoutAhoya wondered why we couldn't schedule the better teams in some of the lesser conferences.
Lets see where our foes stand at mid-season:
Western Carolina: 2-7, Tied for 9th (out of 12) in the Southern
Air Force: 5-1, 2nd in the Mountain West
Illinois State: 7-4, 3rd in the MVC
Sam Houston: 5-2, 2nd in the Southland
Kent State: 6-4, 3rd in MAC
Oakland: 3-5, tied for 6th (out of 9) in MidCon
Delaware State: 7-2, 2nd in MEAC
Coppin State: 7-2, 1st in MEAC
Wisconsin: Tied for 2nd in Big 10
Arizona: 6-2, Tied for 1st in Pac 10
Nebraska: 3-4, Tied for 6th in Big 12
IPFW and SDSU are independents
Looks like most of our non-conference foes (8 out of 11) are contenders for their league championships. Give Tom Crean and Bill Cords some credit for finding some of the better "buy-game" opponents.

Nice analysis. I agree that MU's out of conference slate was pretty good this year -- but the lack of road games prior to conference play remains a disappointment. Imagine if MU had made one of these a road game; the feel would be completely different.
