So, you schedule good teams in bad conferences, who will have a high winning percentage, if not exactly against strong competition, because the opponent's record is a of immense proportions part of the RPI calculation.  Maybe you'll occasionally get burned by a sleeper, but your RPI will soar.

Completely agree with this, and I have often maintained that one could game the system using exactly that method to game the RPI in basketball, and, I guess, other sports that use RPI to determine the post-season.
