Many of us have been bitching about this for a long time now. The slew of home games we've had against the likes of 200+ RPI teams really does nothing for anyone. The Rock is empty and flat as a pancake. The team can develop bad habits because of the talent disparity. You're not injecting any juice into the program early in the season.
In short, the opposite of yesterday. Keep it going, especially at home! Be a big boy program.

Isn't the question what do you want to accomplish with your OOC schedule . I could think of multiple answers to that question.
1. You want to work on your fundamentals, learn how to play as a team and get used to playing with your teammates.
2. Give actual college game experience to your newcomers and to your returning players who saw limited time last season .
3. It allows the coaches to see what everyone can contribute and whether position changes are ready.
4. Gives the coaches a indication of what a teams strengths and weaknesses are.
5. It gets you ready for conference play.and of course,
6. You have to have a schedule that counts when it's tourney selection time.
With those and probably other questions that need to be answered it comes down to what should your schedule should look like . I have always liked the idea of starting out with mid-tier programs that are sound programs and provide a good test and don't hurt your RPI and then build up to several programs like WSU so that you have a reasonable balance between name teams and the other team on your schedule. What that number of RPI boosting teams you play is always up for debate but I believe a minimum of 4 is a good starting point.
