1Edited on July 24 to add Centenary. I saw that they had released their schedule while Google searching this morning.
2Edited on August 5 to confirm South Padre Invitational game versus Richmond found via google search.
3Edited on August 5 to note message on Missouri message board concerning South Padre tournament which makes sense considering Chattanooga's announcement as well as Old Dominion's announced schedule and notes mentioned in Texas tourism sites such as this one. The Longwood schedule (see page 3) confirms Pan American's involvement.
4Edited on August 7 to note BulldawgJunction message by Rob Hammond.
5See Note 3. Edited on August 12 to note that Longwood's announcement that they will be playing Missouri (see page 3 of the pdf), Mississippi State, by process of elimination, has to play Bethune-Cookman.
6Game versus Gardner-Webb may be moved to a future season. Personally, I hope MSU defers the Gardner-Webb game for another season.
7Edited on July 24 to add game at West Virginia found via google search; however, West Virginia's Scout site apparently doesn't know the difference between Mississippi State University and Mississippi.

they used to be pretty good. Anyone remember us beating Wake Forest in some ODU tourney (top 10 I think at the time) & then getting waxed by ODU in the championship game? Must have been about 76 or so.

the WVU game definitely helps us out. That being said, Centenary probably offset it

Those bad RPI teams just KILL your strength of schedule. Worse than losing to an average team.
