At what point do you go from "building the program" to "expecting to win" as far as your schedule goes?

Daddy, you are right on with your last comment.
usually for a good team, there are enough "gimmie" games in the region schedule (Unless you are in the Dorman, Mauldin, Byrnes, Spartanburg region). I would like to see "up-and-coming" teams avoid "gimmies" when they can schedule competitive games that they should still win.
The biggest problem I see with having too many easy games on the schedule is that you never really learn how to deal with adversity (being down) or learn how to close out a game with the opponent applying intense pressure.
