Of the first-division teams, who has the toughest remaining schedule?

GSU - ULL home, ASU away, WKU home
WKU - ULL home, GSU away
ASU - ULL away, LR away, GSU home, ULL home
LR - ULL away, ASU home
ULL - LR home, ASU home, GSU away, WKU away, ASU away

So . . . it would appear that WKU and UALR have the easiest remaining schedules, at least vs. the first division, and ULL has the toughest.

A win at ULL Thursday and we are in the driver's seat for a 4th place finish. Of course, a loss is much more likely. But considering the schedule, we are still in decent shape if we take care of business against the ULM (x2), Troy, and UTA. Adding a win against ASU would guarantee a Top 4 finish and maybe even a chance at 3rd place.

Looks like 4 losses will be the magic number for 2nd place this year...maybe 5 depending on whether ULL can win at Diddle.

Looking at remaining schedules, 7 losses should probably get top 4, with 6 probably the standard for the 3 seed. Difference between playing Georgia State and a WKU type team in the Semis is gigantic this year. Someone is going to have to knock off the Panthers in order to win the tourney, but I think most everyone would much prefer getting their shot at Georgia State in the finals, when maybe a second game in a 24 hour period could eat at their depth a little.
