When I opened that article, I was thinking VT around 34, so 33 feels great. I thought UVA would be just ahead of us.

Here are our opponents rank:

1. Duke
6. Kentucky
10. Miami
11. UNC
12. Notre Dame
18. Louisville
26. Providence (if they beat UDub)
38. UVA
55. Iowa
59. GT
61. NCSU
70. FSU
86. Wake
87. Syracuse
88. Ole Miss
99. Boston College
108. Saint Louis
125. Clemson
141. Washington (if they beat Providence)
153. Pitt
174. Detroit (No "Detroit Mercy" was listed)
248. The Citadel
259. Morehead State
268. Radford
298. Houston Baptist
319. UMD Eastern Shore
346. Presbyterian (Blue Hose, in case you were wondering)
350. NC A&T (only Ala A&M is worse)

Obviously, too many schools 250 (ish) and lower, but I think that's 20 games against the top 100 and 12 against the top 50.

And when you are thinking of cupcakes, a few other comparisons of schools we maybe could have scheduled:
123. Wintrhop
128. Jax St
131. Elon
135. Wofford
137. Samford
142. Lipscomb
143. ETSU
145. Albany
146. Niagara
150. George Mason
152. WKU
154. Murray St
164. Liberty
165. Geo Wash
173. UMD Balt Co
186. UNC Greensboro
191. ODU
196. Campbell
