Interested in getting more peoples thoughts on who you would like to see replace Navy and/or Rutgers (if they are in fact gone from the schedule). Desko scheduled them two years ago to improve the team's SOS and probably thought both teams would perform better than they did RPI-wise (neither made the tournament), though SU ended up with a 2-2 record over the past two years against them.
Selfishly I'd like to see a New England school get scheduled again, maybe Brown or even bring back UMass. As for the other team, I personally think their schedule is hard enough as it is without Yale or Maryland, I'd be more inclined to see them schedule a team ranked in the 8-15 range. I would have liked for it to be Denver but it sounds like they are already scrimmaging. Maybe Ohio State or Penn?
