This is an interesting point that should be looked at a little deeper. Right now, we have only played Villanova, OU, and Buffalo in the top 100 going 2-1. Maybe Arkansas, depending what day we look at the RPI, which makes us 3-1. We still have OU (1), UB (1), and Kent (2) left to play. Unfortunately, with Kent's injuries, they will probably slip out of the top 100. With Reardon out 3 games, UB has the same potential. Even OU has the potential to fall just shy of the 100 mark. If any of these scenarios happen, we could see our rank against the top 100 go anywhere from 0-1 to 7-1. This is another year we are missing the Bracket Buster which would be huge right now.

I don't see the double standard. Those P5 conference schools played and beat really good teams in other conferences. Does the MAC as an entire conference even have a win over an RPI top 50 team in OOC play this year? Schools like Butler and Gonzaga made a name for themselves despite playing in small conferences by proving that they could hang with and beat other power schools. Every few years the MAC will have a team put together a decent postseason run, but most years they are 1 and done in both March Madness and the NIT. If the MAC starts winning marque OOC games and they perform better in post season play, the selection committee will take notice. Edit: Looking back I see Ball State has a win over Valparaiso whose RPI is at exactly #50. That is 1 marque win for a conference that has 12 teams. That isn't good.

At least they didn't move it to 8PM. That's hard on the 2-standers.

Totally agree MLS is beyond screwed up. How is it that Zarek Valentin was in Europe for 3+ years, I believe, and yet Portland had to trade with Montreal for his MLS rights? My understanding was that Zarek was over there no longer "on loan".

Beating ourselves at Green Bay should also count

I thought it was around treefiddy.
