--right the bball forum makes me want to cry i --hold on easiest 6 game stretch with kentucky & virgina in there? im confused?
Kentucky is tough, no doubt. But Virginia? Here was our 6 game stretch: Coppin State NCC Texas Southern Kentucky Virginia Chaminade No road games and only one of those teams has a winning record right now. Sure, Kentucky is ranked, but during conference we don't have a 6-game stretch that doesn't feature at least 2 (currently) ranked teams. So you can throw out any discussion of conference play as being an easier stretch. I'll concede that the following 6-game stretch is probably a little easier: Gardner-Webb Oral Roberts Cincinnati Sacramento State Central Arkansas Maryland-Eastern Shore Because they're all home games and there is no Kentucky. But, in my opinion, it's the only 6-game stretch that's comparable. Kentucky puts a lot of weight on that first 6-game stretch, but it was only one game. There were 4 cupcakes...including one from a lower division...and Virginia.
If I've learned anything from college football, it's that being part of a bigtime conference is as reason as any think a team is good. And what conference is Virginia part of? A-C-C! A-C-C! oh gawd, if that ever started during another major sport season...
