[B]Kendall Rogers[/B]: Matt — Connecticut is ranked in our Top 15 because we believe in the Huskies. With that said, the Huskies, from an RPI standpoint, have played an atrocious schedule thanks to a terrible Big East Conference this year. I would say a Top 15 ranking is pretty sufficient respect at this point, if I’m being honest. [B]Captain Crunch[/B]: Is the American Athletic Conference going to be a 1 Bid League? [B]Kendall Rogers[/B]: Cap — As of right now, it certainly looks like that will be the case. But keep an eye on Houston — the Cougars are up to 76 in the RPI (still a long way to go) and are just one game out of first place. I would throw Tulane still in the mix, too. [B]Alex from Atascocita[/B]: The AAC, with 3 weekends of conference play to go, still is up for grabs. ECU has a 1 game lead over Houston and UCF (although it is effectively a 2 game lead due to ECU’s sweep over UCF) and Tulane is now 2 back. Do you see ECU holding on to 1st (final weekend of season ECU hosts Houston)? If ECU can win regular season title but NOT the tournament title, can they get in? [B]Aaron Fitt[/B]: Yeah, tight race this year. In a normal year, the AAC regular-season champion feels like a lock at-large team, but this year I’m not so sure; ECU is just No. 52 in the RPI, and if they finish outside the top 50, even a regular-season title might not get them in. Houston is 76 and UCF is 97, so those teams are even less likely to get at-large spots if they can finish atop the standings. Just an odd year for the American. A down year. <- [/QUOTE]
