I keeping seeing ours getting lambasted. Is that just bad luck due to Oregon State, WVU, and Missouri all sucking?
Because we already play 20 (up from 18) conference games, in addition to the aforementioned teams from high major conferences, plus Florida. That's six high major opponents that, in the Dixon Era, would have been two or three at the most. Look at Dixon's last season here: Purdue. That was the list of high major OOC opponents, in a season when we only played 18 conference games. I get that the Gonzaga game was canceled and I get that the ACC was better. Just curious what we're doing wrong in the OOC (other than getting some bad luck with three teams sucking way worse than anyone likely would have anticipated).
