Bama is like Jekyll and Hyde. They take down ATM hard, then lose to Vandy by 1. RPI still top 40. Thats better than MIss State who was lucky to crack Top 150 by the end of the year.UCF is in pretty good position 15 games in. They have no bad losses and have a quality win @Alabama.
Why did they leave St. Louis out?Creighton is a Catholic school so it wasn't exactly surprising that the Catholic conference included them.

We will drop like a stone this weekend. USF can’t be ranked in the top 350 RPI.
We need wins too. Doesn't matter if we play all top 50 and lose every game. WSU is next. Probable loss unless we shoot lights out.We will drop like a stone this weekend. USF can’t be ranked in the top 350 RPI.
It's not a pejorative term. Typically the big 12, acc, pac12, big10, sec, and big East are considered the major conferences. Theres a drop off in stature from there, but conferences like the AAC aren't held in the same regard as ones like the ivy league or the sun belt who are considered a much lower quality conference.Not that it matters, but AAC is not a mid-major basketball conference. Nor are the A10, Mountain West or Big East.
It is actually a pejorative term and no the AAC is not a mid-major conference by anyone’s definition.It's not a pejorative term.

TV deal wise we only get 1/5th of the Big East but the deal runs through the 2019-20 season.It is actually a pejorative term and no the AAC is not a mid-major conference by anyone’s definition.
Have to go 6-2 minimally and make AAC Champ Game to get at large. Pretty much we have to win tourney.
Right now we only have 1 of those. Alabama. How many Q1 wins would we need?I'm not sure about with the Quadrant thing now. It's more important to get key wins - Quadrant 1 wins.
6-2 in the next 8 is much harder this year than last year.

It's 1-30 at Home. Temple is not there.I'm not sure especially since it's new.
Here is our Q1 & Q2 wins:
Name - RPI - location
Q1 wins:
Bama - 38 away
Temple - 34 home
Q2
Nebraska- 58 neutral
Ironically the 2 teams who we have had the most drama with this season in Football, Bama & Nebraska, we beat in B-Ball. And now it kills me to root for those assholes. If Nebraska moves to Top 50 that win becomes a Q1 win.
We have to win the tourney. That or go 8-0 and win two games in the tourney.18-19 wins likely needed for NIT and 21-22 for NCAA
22 wins would likely get us in. 23 or 24 would be no doubt. 21 would be on the bubble. Going 8-0 would put us in the 30-35 RPI range and at 22 wins before the tournament.We have to win the tourney. That or go 8-0 and win two games in the tourney.
Perhaps but on review while beating 4 teams in the Top 70 could help especially two Top 25 teams in the AP and Coaches poll....playing #287 South Florida regardless of outcome will do nothing. The others are in the Top 130.22 wins would likely get us in. 23 or 24 would be no doubt. 21 would be on the bubble. Going 8-0 would put us in the 30-35 RPI range and at 22 wins before the tournament.
34 point loss and we move up?Moved up 6 spots with the loss to Cincinnati. Now sitting at rpi of 67.
