AAC has more Top 100 RPI teams than Big East, Big Ten and Big 12

All these new staffs in the AAC (Dawkins, Janks, Dunleavy, Tubby, etc) are doin work... and they aren't even close to being at full strength.

Of course this would be the year the selection committee de-emphasizes the RPI.

Have to give credit to the AAC. They really are upping the standards of the league. It is conceivable that UConn could end up being OK stuck in this league...eventually....with a new coach.

Good to hear, now let's beat some of them and make this show of a season finish strong.

For what profits a team if it gains a competitive league but loses its own ability to win in it.

A vintage UConn team should rip through this league with no more than 4 losses.

Definitely unfortunate. They will still use the RPI quadrant groupings at least, which might actually make RPI 50-100 wins on the road more valuable, which is great because the AAC has like 6 teams in that range. Great for Cincinnati and Wichita that is, certainly has no bearing on us.

Recruit: "Man, Big 12, Big East, B1G. I could play against some of the best teams in the country. Villanova, Xavier, Michigan St., Kansas, West Virginia, Purdue. This is a really difficult decision."

UConn: "Listen here son, let me talk to you for a second about the AAC's RPI..."

The problems is..that except for Wichita State...the teams are bunched from 50-1oo...in comparison to the P5 RPI's

Conference totals of teams having 50 or less RPI

ACC...8

Big 12..5

Big 10..5

BE...7

SEC...10

Yep, A vintage UConn team used to have less than 3 in the Big East and the OOC schedule combined. Vintage Husky squad would mean 0-1 losses in many of those years in this league.

UConn being in this top 100... might show just how worthless a metric it is?

Plus, the AAC has more teams than the BE and Big 12 so it's a little something called proportions.

Maybe we need to get banned from the NCAA tourney to light the fire in our coaches and players again?

No. The AAC is a way station. I really need to hang on to that though the existing P5 contracts.

The AAC also has more teams in the top 350 rpi than the Big East.

So what does this say? Everyone else is getting better players than us?
