Great Interview!
Looking at the schedule, it looks like we aren't challenging ourselves too much until the conference starts then it becomes a real challenge. 15 games against current top 25 times and 6 more against those receiving votes. So I guess it won't hurt us too much if we sort stay out of tournaments that feature top teams. My guess it might not be too long before that changes.
We did already play one non-conference game against Fresno State, which is receiving votes. We have at least 1 game (possibly 2 games) at Tennessee. And we also play at BYU later in the season. So that is at least 3 (possibly 4) games against solid non-conference competition, on top of the teams you mentioned in conference.
We also played two (split) against Seattle that played Northwestern, Oklahoma and Arizona very tough, and beat Missouri along with us.
Our overall SOS will be very strong at year's end.
