To follow are my Power 6 non-conference schedule rankings combining palatability and average ranking of non-conference opponents. I will be very surprised if the Gophers don't earn Dukie Vitale's "Cupcake City" award for worst non-conference schedule for the third consecutive season.
I'll have a column (for GopherHole) focusing on Big Ten and St. Thomas non-conference schedules in the next week or so, including predictions for each team's final non-conference record. After that I'll contribute college basketball musings throughout the season, including weekly "Field of 68" projections, culminating on Selection Sunday. I hope you can follow along.
