or Eastern Michigan are pretty much the exact same odds as beating the nobodies of today like Oral Roberts, Morehead State, or Central Arkansas. The makeup of the schedules are pretty much the same. A handful of easy wins. Some tougher middle of the road mid-majors and then some high majors.
About the only reason why 20 wins is a little easier today is that we play a preseason tourney every year, play more regular-season conference games today, and can play up to 5 conference tourney games a season now compared to 3 in the Big 8 days. It has very little to do with the quality of non-con opponents.
