That's a big shift. I bet their are a few powers contemplating these events.

The AAC needs to stay near the top and do well in the NCAA's. If that happens and the football side of the conference produces three or four strong teams, ESPN or some other network will have to cough up significant monies next round. Or someone will direct the ACC or B!G to take UConn and break up the AAC.

RPI can be funny sometimes. MWC lead all of CBB last year and then promptly flamed out in the tourney.

That's conference power rating not conference RPI. American is eighth in conference RPI.

Kill joy.

Maybe not. Maybe conference power rating is a better predictor of success? Not sure of the methodology used to figure CPR and no clue what it means.

This is clearly more accurate than RPI, it factors in our true power.

Lunardi kept showing the A10 and nnBE with better RPI's and getting 6 teams in last night, it seemed insane. Where are the big wins?

Our conference RPI is crap for one reason, and really one alone - the horrid out of conference SOS numbers of these teams:

SMU 287
Houston 338
USF 322
UCF 341

These teams need to fix this. Now.

Three you can almost understand. They're still playing games signed when you they were CUSA teams...and bad CUSA teams at that. USF, though, is still playing games signed when they were in the BE...and not long after an NCAA appearance. That's particularly inexcusable.

 

[pepband99]

BS. Nothing over 300 is excusable.

yes, but 3 of those are either on the bubble or last four in.
game by game 3 of those 6 are in jeopardy.
I think the AAC is pretty solid at 5, unless a complete meltdown happens.

has any league set standards with regards to SOS? Probably not given the point you are making with the timing of when games are scheduled vs played.
but it would seem that a team could easily target a 100 SOS and get +/- 50. But a team targeting top 100 SOS schools isn't going to hit 300...

BE deserves 4; 5 if the bubble stays extremely soft. 6 is a pipe dream

I keep forgetting 68 teams are the number now. They were showing VCU's and UMass's resumes, the only OOC good win I remember was New Mexico, which isn't much.

USF's OOC scheduling is so poor because without 9-10 easy wins, they go like 4-25 in the old Big East. With the exception of that one year they went to the tournament.
