Boy, not a bad schedule by Nebraska. Start out with FGC and end with Cincy. Miami and Creighton, the Charleston Classic in between. Potential for 7 good match ups.

Ray, I like it, too. FGCU is a tricky opener, and it's likely Cincinnati will be a return home game in 2014-15.

That said, not sure the schedule will be "phenomenal" or "one of the top 25 schedules in the country”, as Tim Miles gushed it would be in the press release.

I think the Big Sky must want to be the first conference to have all their schedules released. 7/11 Big Sky teams have released their schedules now. It'll be interesting to see how soon the remaining four do. Those four: Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, and Portland State.

Iowa State nonconference schedule (COMPLETE #76)

I really like this schedule despite the high "average RPI" and it's too many (3) 300+ RPI opponents. The Mayor, who's nonconference schedules haven't been all that strong at ISU, still managed to include a nice mix of major-conference opponents (at least 3, all in Ames) and solid mid-majors (BYU, UNI, George Mason)

Kansas State non-conference

I think I only counted 9 of the 10 Big XII schools, even though all those who hadn't announced their non-conference schedules did so today to coincide with the Big 12 TV schedule announcement. I think Kansas State is the one that's still missing. If it's not, then forgive this double post.
