There’s a growing sentiment across the country that St. Joe’s non-conference schedule does not deserve the lofty ranking it is getting from the RPI (or just about any other objective system out there).

But consider this, of the Hawks 11 non-conference opponents, all of them have winning records entering Tuesday’s play.

They’re the only team in Division 1 that can claim this. Four other teams have just one non-winning team on their non-conference schedule, but they are all (Belmont, Austin Peay, Delaware State, The Citadel) from far lesser conferences than the Atlantic 10.
