Wednesday
No. 16 North Carolina Central Eagles vs. No. 16 Texas Southern Tigers (-5)
It's hard to ignore the massive strength of schedule discrepancy in this matchup. Like most SWAC schools, Texas Southern spent virtually its entire nonconference slate playing "paycheck" games against power conference foes. In an eight-day span, it took on Ohio State, Syracuse, Kansas and Clemson. The Tigers also faced Gonzaga and TCU. The end result was 0-13, but the experience undoubtedly aided in the Tigers' current seven-game win streak (average win came by 15 points).
