Now the conference's ONLY Q1 win.
We were talking about it last night - I don't see a path forward for an at large team in the A10. Even running the table gives you a collection of AT BEST a Q2 win.
It is almost a guarantee that there will be zero Q1 games in the A10 this year. Meaning, a game on the road at a top 75 team. Dayton is the highest ranked team in the A10 at 67. They're the only one technically presenting as a Q1 game for a visiting team.
For an opponent to get them as a Q1 win, that would mean someone would have to beat them at UD arena. HOWEVER, if Dayton were to lose a home game, say even to 2nd highest ranked St Louis (currently 105), that would be a Q3 loss for them, and it would drop Dayton out of Q1 and it would become a Q2 win.
This is the worst A10 of our lifetimes. One bid league. Woof.
