We played Duke two years in a row at neutral sites for special games ie Big City Classic.  However, there was never a long term scheduling agreement and I dont think either school really was that interested in one.  We haven't played Loyola since 09 I believe and to be honest they werent exactly helping our SOS or RPI, and hadnt been for a while.  I know there the defending champs but last year was the first real relevant year they have had in a while.  I do agree about Denver but at some point you have to assess and make sure you have a reasonable schedule..
 
Syracuse allready plays UVA, JHU, Princeton, Cornell, and Albany/Army.  This isnt counting ND or St. Johns who arent exactly pushovers.  The issue is what PhatOrange pointed out, a lot of teams are ridiculously overrated.  Duke hasn't beaten anyone and schools like Denver, Penn, Penn State and others are slotted way to high and will be bounced early save for maybe Denver just like Umass was last year if they even make the tourney.  UVA is having its first true down year in like a decade and if Hopkins fails to make the tourney which looks likely I am not sure Petro survives.
