fknbuflobo Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah, but check Denver's weak schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Zips have sorted out the RPI system. Play quality non-con on the road, early in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Zips have sorted out the RPI system. Play quality non-con on the road, early in the season.But you sort of have to beat most of them too Sitting at #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Right. Winning is the greatest factor. SOS counts. Away bonus counts. Top 25 bonus counts.Boy, if only we had beaten Old Dominion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Georgetown's last and only loss at home was to the Zips. Since a little bit of a rough start they have had a tremendous season. Undefeated in the Big East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Right. Winning is the greatest factor. SOS counts. Away bonus counts. Top 25 bonus counts.Boy, if only we had beaten Old Dominion!Old Dominion has really faded down the stretch. They could be on the bubble for the NCAA. ODU is 34 in RPI and they play Fla. International(FIU) in a 4-5 matchup with the winner facing Kentucky. FIU is 32 in the RPI. I would be surprised if the NCAA took 5 teams in that league.the amazing part about Akron's RPI this year....is the fact that so many teams on their schedule have had down years this year. At the beginning of the year, I would have looked at Akron's schedule and said there is not a sub .500 team on the non conference schedule.our former asst.(now head coach at VCU)....has had a tough year. VCU is 5-9-4 and is 106 in the RPIMike Getman at UAB is an outstanding coach...but UAB is 5-11 and they are 113 in RPIeven Penn State (7-8-3) and Michigan State (8-9-2) finished below .500St. Louis was top 25 at the beginning of the year but is #75 now with a 8-6-2 record Coach Embick and his coaching staff really put together a great schedule.
