Best/Toughest non conference schedule in '12-'13

[sgt12]

Who has the toughest non conference schedule this upcoming year ?

I'll go with Cornell which has it's toughest set of non conference games in the last 15 years or so. 2 vs CC at Lynah - 2 @ Denver - Ferris st and either Maine or Minn-Duluth in Fla Tournament - Michigan at MSG.

Can't we wait until everyone has their schedule released?

Also - Cornell sucks.

Everyone's non-conference schedule is determined.

A team that will struggle to make the tournament, sadly.

The answer is Michigan Tech. If not, please don't tell us because that's how we've gotten through many of our recent seasons.

Penn State. Those club teams can be a REAL pain...

I do think this has been typically true for total sos. Tech plays into the meat of the WCHA (which historically has had the toughest sos) and then faces Michigan and MSU in the gli to round out matters. But not sure how it stacks up on nc sos.

I have not really looked at anyone else's OOC for 12-13 but I would guess that BU's is up there (especially if we end up playing BC in the 2nd round of the Beanpot).

2 at North Dakota
at Denver
St Lawrence, RPI and Harvard at home
then Northeastern and either BC or Harv in the beanpot.
