Sql 2014 "dbo" question......

I thought there was no "default" schema so why do

select * from <table>

and

select * from dbo.<table>

return the same result set?

TIA,

P.S. My Server Role is set to "sysamdin" on this test box but I also want to test the case of a user that belongs only to an AD group -- so has no default schema assigned to them.)
