In schedule analysis Part 2 I said
There are a lot of fun things to find out just using the set of team-pairs who play each other such as the sets of teams who play every other team in the set (I'll get to that in a later column)and this is that later column.
Begin with the 716 games that pair one D1A team with another D1A team and find all of the subsets of D1A where every team in the subset plays every other team. There are 3308 of those (including the 716 two-team "round robins".)
That's a bit misleading, though. For instance all of the round-robin subsets of sizes 9 and 8 are just themselves subsets of the single 10-team round robin that the Big 12 plays. There are 336 unique round-robins in the 2015 schedule. 164 of those are purely due to conference schedules.

Here's the complete list of unique round-robins in the 2015 1A schedules. Those with representation from more than one conference are flagged with ∗.

The interconference games between teams that have no common opponents contribute the most to the connectivity of the 1A field. Each team obtains the maximum number of opponents' opponents from those matchups. (This is easy to see: each common opponent combines with the team-pair to form an order-three round robin. Since these pairs are not part of a larger one, they have no opponents in common.)
So the three-team multi-conference round robins contribute less to connectivity than the two-team but more than the four-team. We can order the teams by how many opponents' opponents are obtained from each of the round-robins in which they participate to give another measure of team schedule contribution to connectivity/

Again, it's no surprise that the independent teams top the list. This makes even more visible though the problem of 9-game conference schedules. The conference teams who play them and teams who schedule non-conference games against them are less connected than teams who play three or four nonconference 1A games instead of two or three.
