I'll change it to 'disappointing', which it clearly is.

And LOL at you saying "most folks outside of you seem to agree that this is a step up in competition...". Really? Most folks? Name just one. Please. Besides Coach Pingeton herself. I read pretty much all the Mizzou media I can get my hands on, including the message boards, and i have not seen a single person saying that this schedule is a significant step up in competition. All I've seen is Pingeton making that claim, and several media outlets, PD and RockM, repeating her dubious, self serving claim. I have seen zero discussion from "folks" analyzing this mediocre schedule and making conclusions backed up by facts.

Most folks agree it is a step up? Name one. Besides Pingeton herself, who of course is going to try and blow smoke about a schedule so weak it includes 5 games against teams that ended last year with RPIs over 200, and the games against "high power conference teams" include 2 of those. It doesn't matter if you play a B1G or Big East team, if they are awful.

And you must not follow this sport very closely. Yes, RPIs can and will change from one year to the next. But there is a lot of general predictability from one year to another in most cases. Illinois has been awful for a number of years. That's a fact. Saying their 2016 RPI doesn't mean squat for 2017 is just wrong.

Pingeton created another cupcake schedule for her team because that's what she does. To act like this schedule is a step up in competition in any significant way is simply dishonest on her part. We'll see how this works out if we are fighting a few other teams for the critical last few national seeds, and we have similar records, and our strength of schedule and lack of signature non conference wins comes back to haunt us.
