We've reached the 300 mark.

The home stretch starts tomorrow.

Here are the continuous non-conference schedule rankings for all 365 Division 1 teams, a supplement to the "All Things Non-Conference Schedule Releases" thread on the School Thou Shall Not Mention Here board. Teams listed here have COMPLETE non-conference schedules, meaning we already know (if applicable) their in-season tournament opponent(s). I will add team rankings as non-conference schedules become complete (with tournament opponents).

Rankings prioritize the percentage of games played vs. NET Top 122 opponents (top 33% of Division 1) combined with the average NET ranking of opponents. Non-Division 1 games are excluded from the average opponent NET ranking.

I just Googled it, looks like they are real team with real uniforms and everything.

Per Wiki:

The West Georgia Wolves (UWG Wolves, formerly the West Georgia Braves) are the athletic teams that represent the University of West Georgia, located in Carrollton, Georgia, in NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. The Wolves compete as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) for their 16 varsity sports.

It appears as if my guy Zac Brown attended West Georgia.

Go West Georgia Wolves!!

The more impressive thing about this schedule to me is there's only one real cupcake (the fightin' Gottliebs). NC State is another quality opponent if you count P5s, but is outside the top 122, too.

Yep, NC State definitely likely to be an outlier with my "top 122" emphasis. Fully expect them to be in the NCAA tourney this season with Will "The Gangster" Wade and the roster he's assembled.

Figured with a different emphasis...
Duke has 7 Top 40 teams on their schedule
and Purdue has 5....cupcakes are cupcakes and anything about 230 to 351 is likely a cupcake? or no?

Without checking, I believe Illinois has 5 also: Texas Tech, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, UConn. Coach says they are looking for another, too.
