yes, but regardless of who you play, your opponents winning percentages are going to approach 50%....

for example, kansas had highest rated strength of schedule last year (opponents and opponents opponents) at 0.4689. norfolk state had the lowest ranked at 0.3030. in a 30 game season, that only accounts for 20 more wins. in other words, the difference between the best and worst team in gained rpi points is almost 50% larger in the 25% that is attributed to winning percentage than in the 75% attributed to stength of schedule.

so, in short, bucknell winning its games is far more important than anything else going on.
