    . . . have seemingly been decisive in a couple of Tech's losses.

    Re: 2013-14 MBB Ratings Watch

    Middle Tennessee takes a tumble... and it amazes me that we are never mentioned as one of the top teams in C-USA on these FS1 broadcasts (and ECU is)...

    We have another big opportunity tonight. We need to take advantage of it.

    KenPom Ratings (through games of 12/29)
    3 Oklahoma State
    37 LSU
    49 Saint Mary's
    57 Oklahoma
    63 Louisiana Tech

    65 Southern Miss
    97 UAB
    99 LA-Lafayette
    100 UTEP
    103 St. Bonaventure
    112 Charlotte
    161 Western Kentucky
    166 Tulsa
    175 Middle Tennessee
    177 Northwestern State
    181 East Carolina
    202 Marshall
    213 Old Dominion
    219 FIU
    232 LA-Monroe
    240 Jackson State
    246 Florida Atlantic
    249 North Texas
    256 Southern
    267 Rice
    273 UIC
    275 Southeastern La.
    299 UNC Greensboro
    301 Tulane
    313 New Orleans
    318 McNeese State
    320 Nicholls State
    323 Longwood
    336 Central Arkansas
    344 UTSA
    351 Grambling State

    I think the first official RPI ratings will be released one week from today.

    FS1 talking heads aren't used to us being part of the crowd yet.

    Makes sense. No doubt we just got lucky in Jackson and Monroe. Also ULL having half the rating we do makes perfect sense.

    I agree with '06. RPI has lost touch.

    Totally disagree...RPI is a result of the VERY weak schedule Tech has played so far, and C-USA isn't going to help much. Only somehing close to running the table will do that.

    ULM and Jackson State are abnormally high because of the opponents they have played, nothing else. Once conference play starts, if they don't start winning they will drop like a rock...heck, they will likely drop even if they go .500 in league play.

    ETA...Tech's SOS before Monday was #278. ULM was #21 and Jackson State was #37.

    Almost half way through the season and RPI is lagging behind. Top 30 RPI won't get an at large anymore. Something is wrong with that. Top 40 should.

    So.....why would ULM's RPI be higher (better) than LA Tech's after Tech just donkey stomped ULM on their own home court? This is the problem that I ahve with this RPI" thing. It's horsesh*t.


    ** Never mnind. I saw your explanation in a later post. But it still sounds like horsesh*t though. ULM has never been in the Top 113 of anything.

    Per warrennolan, out RPI went up to 89 with the win. That at least makes it make sense now,

    With a 68-team field, almost the Top 50 RPI should be guaranteed spots. Top 30 should be a no-brainer, and I would have no problem with a rule being set saying that a final Top 30 RPI team automatically qualifies to take it out of the committee's hands. I would not be in favor of going much beyond 30 with that type of rule though.
