Another one of my lists, looking at strength-of-schedule, and using University of Nebraska - Omaha (UNO) for comparison.
It should be noted that UNO has released their 2023-24 final schedule, while Colgate has not done so yet.
However, it should also be noted that Colgate's strength-of-schedule has already improved, just by virtue of the three other ECAC teams making the '23 NCAA tournament, including national champion Quinnipiac.
2023-24 Colgate Opponents that have Competed in the 16-team NCAA Tournament (tentative):
2023 – Cornell, Harvard, QUINNIPIAC
2022 - Harvard, Quinnipiac
2021 - Quinnipiac
2020 - (none held)
2019 - Clarkson, Cornell, Harvard, Quinnipiac
2018 - Clarkson, Cornell, Princeton
Notes:
Those teams that competed in the NCAA Frozen Four appear in CAPITAL letters.
Those teams that won the NCAA National Championship appear in underscored CAPITAL letters.
2023-24 Nebraska - Omaha Opponents that have Competed in the 16-team NCAA Tournament (final):
