Here are the mean and median for each of the ten PL team's OOC schedule, based on the 2018 final Pomeroy rankings. There are 351 teams in all. I arbitrarily used a ranking of 375 for any D2/D3 opponent.
Bucknell not surprisingly has the strongest schedule by a very wide margin. Each team's game-by-game OOC schedule follows in the next post.
Mean:
Bucknell 111
Holy Cross 177
Lehigh 183
Loyola 206
Boston U 216
Navy 222
Colgate 225
American 235
Lafayette 244
Army 249
Median:
Bucknell 114
Holy Cross 151
Lehigh 197
American 220
Loyola 241
Navy 243
Boston U 248
Colgate 254
Lafayette 265
Army 267

Other than Bucknell, the rest of the PL plays a crappy schedule.
If you want to play good teams and attend a PL school, there is really only one choice.

I can understand scheduling weak opponents if you have a weak team. But Boston has no excuse. They should be embarrassed.

Imagine being one of Boston U's four or five season ticket holders. You get your schedule and see that Vermont is your first home game. Very good opener!
But then imagine your reaction when you find out the other OOC home games are with Emerson, Lowell, Nicholls State, and Bethune-Cookman. Boston U should pay the people who show up for these games instead of charging for admission.
