And for what it is worth, when the deal was signed with Washington several years ago, they had a good program, so the game at Washington this year was supposed to be the real test. Turned out they sucked and it wasn't a test at all, and there you have it.

The Ohio State also has Miami in the next couple of years, which falls into the same situation. They were a powerhouse when the deal was signed, and now they are not what they used to be.

Everyone gives teams throughout the NCAA **** about their schedules, but when you have to set these up years in advance it is a total crap shoot on who can be a test for your program.

That isn't the case in basketball, though- keep that in mind when tourney time comes around and the talking heads are ripping crappy OOC schedules.

Syracuse finally learned that this year after years of scheduling cupcakes in the non-conference portion of their schedule and then whining when they got left out of the tourney because of it. This year Syracuse could probably go 7-9 in conference and still get in cause of their non-conference schedule. Other years 10-6 isn't enough.
