I've loved and am re-assured by everything you've posted..my concern
about quality wins tho is this..I hear you on the opportunity to get some in the back of the schedule, the ACC slate.
But I feel like the way the system is setup for programs like us is - the ACC is not the SEC of B1G, there simply aren't as many Q1 opportunities as those two leagues get (last year)..so we HAVE to win some of these OOC games in Nov and Dec. I don't know where Providence is gonna wind up in the NET, St. Joe's, Colorado State, St. Mary's (if we see them), S Car, Mason..but I feel like we have to win several of those for the "resume" and when chemistry takes a month to form, when we don't get those W's.
Talk me off the ledge please on the scheduling front when it comes to having an at large-worthy resume. I just don't like how the system leading to Selection Sunday at larges is setup where it favors programs like ours that -tend- to be on the bubble every year at best.

Why shouldn't you put any stock in exhibitions/scrimmages?
