Non conference is only important in football. It's a big payday while getting your ass kicked. How many times has an A-sun team got a a 12 seed, probably not that many. When the selections committee picks those seeds they don't pick it on who you played close in non-conference, it is who you beat. I don't see us winning any non-conference games next yr unless we get someone like Eckerd/Lynn.. I agree that ASUN tourney is what the whole team should be focused on.
I disagree that we won't beat any non-conference teams next year. Lynn and Eckerd?? Those teams are a divison below us. They are teams we'd play in exhibitions, not during the non-conference schedule. I'm sure the schedule will include teams like Marist, UCF, and Northwestern just like this season. Those teams are the equivalent of teams that we will face in the Sun Belt and they are the caliber of teams that we should be able to compete with and beat. Another year under Doherty and another solid recruiting class and we will be even better than this season.

1994, #12

Beat Penn State and Alabama
1997, #12

Beat Stanford and Arizona State
2001, #11
Georgia State
29-5
10-1 non-conf
Beat Georgia and UAB
And now, let's take a look at our beloved FAU Owls, say if we beat the top 3 RPI rated teams we played this season and won 5 of our last 6 games and then two games in the tourney.
2005, #??
FAU
20-9
3-3 non-conf
Beat Marist (#77 RPI, 14-7 in 2005), MTSU (#107 RPI, 10-9 in 2005) and let's say Northwestern (#132 RPI, 9-10 in 2005) instead of UCF.
Now, how the hell you can say we would be a 12 seed in the big dance, I don't know. The numbers don't lie my friend!

With Doherty and the kind of recruits FAU will be getting you really think Eckerd and Lynn is the best FAU can do in OOC? Next season Rice and Monroe will be a year older and everything we've heard about Doherty says he can recruit real well. We know he can coach. If Doherty can land a big man, things will be looking a bit different.
I think next year is going to look much different than this year. (better)
