I don't think it is P5 worthy, but maybe better than any other G5

Don't be too dismissive of the games at ECU and at Hawaii, at least not yet. ECU

Our struggling in those games or not has nothing to do with the fact they are two of the worst teams in the country.

Not even close to a P5 schedule. Pretty decent schedule for us since going Indy though.

You give the P5 status too much credit IMO. We are stronger at the top of sked

I think it's absolute lunacy to say our schedule even compares. We play two great teams. 3 good teams. And 8 bad teams.

Then how do you explain the CBS ranking of our schedule being harder than 25 P5?

LSU and Wisconsin help an awful lot. I don't know how you can look at a schedule with those

Guaranteed that KenPom would label this a "semi-away" game for the Cougs. No way is it "neutral"

Call it what you want. Just don't call it a true road game. It's way more neutral than road.
