Well... that's exactly right. KP fills in the blanks with historical league/team performance, so a league like the SEC isn't going to regress a program much if it needs to fill in the blanks with a frosh - unlike for the Ivy League. I'd wager that nuanced projection systems, like Hanner/Winn with SI, will have Harvard in the Top 100 and *maybe* Yale as well (Yale's more of a gamble, because you're betting on one player - Jordan Bruner - being really good, which I have reason to believe he will be).

This year's schedules are pretty solid actually. Harvard has 5 Tier B games, a couple of which could end up being Tier A games. Last year's gauntlet of a schedule had 2 Tier B and 3 Tier A games, so it's not far off that one. Princeton has 2 Tier A and 3 Tier B games. Yale has 2 Tier A and 3 Tier B games as well. Penn has 2 Tier A and 2 Tier B. Cornell has 2 Tier A and 3 Tier B. Brown has 3 Tier A. Dartmouth has 1 Tier A and 3 Tier B and finally Columbia has 2 Tier As and 1 Tier B.

That's plenty of opportunities against site-adjusted Top 50 and Top 100 opponents - more than in recent years top-to-bottom. Every team has to pitch in, though. Scalps matter across the league, not just for the bubble contender.
