If there is one league that takes advantage of creaming cupcakes it is the B12.    Your point on what MWC is doing with their scheduling is inaccurate.

I've been tracking date in my other thread, so its easy to pull.   I'm not saying that the MWC doesn't do some tactical scheduling, but the method you are portraying is inaccurate.  They don't pile up on creampuffs compared to others.   In fact they do less of it.

This year the MWC has played 44% of its games against Q4 Teams.  P5 conferences have played 52% (ACC also 52%).   This year the MWC has played 24% of its games against the real bottom feeders (bottom half of the Q4)... the P5 has played 33% of its games.    It was a similar trend last year.

Where the MWC does schedule differently is that it plays more Q2 and Q3 games, as it hunts Q2 victories for its members in OOC play.     The MWC has played 41% of its games as Q2/Q3, while the P5 Leagues are at 26%.    The other factor for this is that the MWC is not typically invited to the high profile pre-season tourneys so there games end up being Q2/Q3 rather than Q1.

There were other scheduling reasons that the MWC is able to take advantage of (and its not all NET) that allowed them to get 5 teams in the tourney.  And those 5 teams actually did very well in OOC play last year (5-3 in Q1, 10-3 in Q2).     But beating creampuffs more than others is not one of them at all.
