Tulane? They have losses to UNC and Florida St. But also Georgia State? Ugh. And Tulsa, like UConn. Temple has losses to Cincy, Tulane, Houston, Georgia, UCF, Villanova, George Washington, Lasalle. But they have good wins like Clemson and Auburn. Their Wisky win is the equivalent of UConn's Oregon win. When you look at this, you see a much bigger reward for playing teams that are not at the very top of the rankings. Play more teams that are 25-75. Temple has MORE losses and more BAD losses than UConn does. For Tulane, you schedule 2 tough games and win against cupcakes. So their RPI is higher. I guess I'm just scratching my head here as to how this can be. [/QUOTE]
