Just looked at the schedule again as I was perusing the latest RPI numbers (up to 16) ... a thought struck me. Previous years, UVa had a couple of "we should win these six in a row no problems" sandwiched between "these four are brutal" type stretches. This year is much more two tough, one easier or three or four "medium" difficulty games.
Case in point is the current stretch which had two really tough games vs. WVU and Nova, then the really solid games against Cal and Oakland (currently 86 and 87 in the RPI). The ACC season starts with top 50ish Notre Dame, road games against the Techs, and so on, where we seem to alternate winnable versus tougher games. There is one stretch I see starting with the Cuse game and lasting about six or seven games, but it's nowhere near the Tobacco Road + Louisville stretch from last season.
Do you folks see that as good or bad for the Hoos?
