Blue Dawg's Weekly Sagarin Thread Dunkin' Dawgs 2019-20

[dawg80]

Ya mean MFSU is worse than the Buzzards!? How is that possible?

CUSA sucks at everything. But the saddest part is, we can't seem to win a conference championship in anything! We're not even the tallest midget!

CUSA is ranked 18th out of 32 conference so about the 45th percentile. Seems like we used to be around the 60th percentile as a conference. Is CUSA on the decline? The numbers seem to suggest in both FB and BB. Whats our next move, petition the Big 12 for entry OR combine with the Belch for one big G5 super conference Stronger Together Conference USA

Sagarin counts the MAC's 2 divisions as 2 conferences for some reason. If you combine those we are 15th out of 32, or 53rd percentile.


These are the CUSA Sagarin conference ranks since we joined starting with this season and going backwards (combining the two divisions of one conference into one): 15, 15,12, 20, 19, 16*,18*.


*we were regular season champs.

To me that says that during the last three seasons, the conference has been better than our first four seasons. Maybe even an upswing. Maybe even moving in the right direction, wouldn't you say?

It doesn’t feel that way... but, maybe so. Thanks for the input.

My impression has been that top 6 or so have been solid.

The WKU game is a razor-thin margin and extremely important.

Conference 16/33 not bad but really needs to be top 10-12.
83/353 teams is nothing to be ashamed of however it wont get us in the dance unless we win tourney. IF by some chance we finish 25-5 and lose in the conference tourney final (27-6) do we get in?

No.

But we do get an automatic NIT bid with a conference championship and being in the final of the conference tournament right?

all we need is regular season championship.
