Tulsa non-conf scheduling

Analysis: The Golden Hurricane are right in the middle of the rankings of all categories – their scheduling is about as standard as you get. They usually go with two BCS teams, one above average one average, and two non-BCS teams, one average and one below average or I-AA.

Fact: After averaging 2 BCS opponents per year for most of the BCS era, Tulsa has only played 1 in the past two seasons (Oklahoma in 2007).

Fact: Tulsa’s opponents were averaging 4.2 average wins (with a high of 5.8) through 2004 – not too good. But in 2005 they played Minnesota (7.0), North Texas (6.4), and Oklahoma (12.0) for more than double their average at 8.5. In 2006 & 2007 it was back to normal with 4.6 and 5.7, respectively.

2008 Outlook: More vanilla, and on the shade of easy for 2008. @ Arkansas might be tough or tricky, depending on the Hogs, @ North Texas isn’t too bad, New Mexico at home is winnable, and I-AA Central Arkansas is nothing to get excited about.
