A qucik review of next season's Non-Conference scheduling --- given those human coaches that have season credits:

IVY Stats:   29 total games scheduled - including 16 games against the A10 (55%) and 8 games overall against humans (28%)
A10 Stats:   19 total games scheduled - including 9 games agianst the Ivy (47%) and 7 games agianst humans (37%)

In my own experience there wasn't any human A10 coached teams left when I set my schedule for next season --- so I needed to load up SIMs.  Interesting enough, one of the human coached teams in the A10 decided that he wanted to play our 2 Ivy sims instead of humans...oh well they should help his SOS.

Good stuff rat, I would have done all 5 Ivy but with dk, senator, and Wagner on my OOC I took a couple SIM's to ensure at least a 2-3 start to next season

Pretty even here, again the Ivy teams are undenaibly deeper at this point but I hope the A10 can return to some former glory days of 3 NC contenders of 20 seasons ago.

There are some nice looking recruitng classes shaping up this year...dk has what appears to be a monster class.  You guys in the NE need to beat him off some more recruits.  I thought about hoping on that RB Miller in VA but saving my pennies for hopefully 2 late class additions that puts us over the top this year on the recruiting trail.  Still a lot of time until signings though.......

Its nice to see the new coaches in both conferences but I will admit the Ivy is "deeper" right now.  The A-10 programs need to develop and have a few coaches stick around and improve their teams.  I am looking forward to pimp slapping the two Ivy teams this OOC though

bring it...regular season - both non-conf & conference are just window dressing for the playoffs.

True but breaking it off in snobish Ivy leagers is always worth an extra nudge

I hope cj, rymac, or one of the other coaches does stick around the A10 and builds a good in conference rivalry.  While I like to win (why else play) I do miss some old day conferences like ASC camp (dwhit34, livemike, chyphilis, etc) where winning the conference title really meant something.  I have debated a few times about jumping over to the Ivy just for some competition.

I plan on sticking around for at least 5 or 6 seasons. I would like to move to D1A at some point in the future but I definitely don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Dartmouth is waiting --- fertile ground.  And if you are really into punishment...we have Holy Cross open.

At the end of week one: A-10 leads 4-0

William & Mary is damn good team.

However - I will still maintain that's its the POST season that determines real supremacy.

I totally agree sjurat, I won't lie that I am really not happy with how W&M has represented in the last few years.  5 of 10 NC games and a 2-3 record to show for it.  I love the GUESS ratings every year but we have not even came close to living up to the hype!  I wouldnt mind running into an Ivy team in the title game this year

A-10 up 6-0

A-10 up 8-1

A-10 up 10-2 and clinches the Head-To-Head victory over the Ivy League with a week to go. 

Fordham doesn't play any A-10 teams this year. We will next year but it's W&M which kinda sucks.
