Zips 28th best mid-major

[ZachTheZip]

http://www.midmajority.com/tmm100 We are the 28th best mid-major over the past six years, according to Mid-Majority's objective, cumulative ranking formula.

We're ahead of some good mid-major teams.

Interesting that this formula ranks the MAC 7th best out of the 25 "lesser" conferences.

It appears that the Zips will trail only Can't among MAC teams when the countdown to #1 is finished.

Though being 2nd to Can't in anything is an ugly thought, it does represent a big leap up from where this formula would have ranked the Zips in the years prior to KD's arrival.

The next step up requires knocking Can't off the top of the MAC heap.

Amen. I think that's a good first step. We need to at least get ourselves back to the point we were at about 4 years ago, where we won both regular season matchups, and won again in the MAC tournament.

This reminds me of a debate some people had on here recently where some questioned whether we should recruit to match up against Ken+. And the answer should be an emphatic....HECK YEAH !!!!

Can't ended up in spot 25, only three points higher than the Zips. Kind of surprising with all of their NCAA appearances and wins but we will get lots of oppotunities to pass them this year:

* NCAA Tournament victories - 5

* NCAA Tournament appearances - 5

* Conference regular season titles - 4

* Red Line Upsets - 4

* NIT victories - 3

* Leading conference in offensive or defensive efficiency - 3

* 20-win seasons - 3

* NIT appearances - 2

* Individual statistical leaders in conference (PPG or RPG) - 2

* NBA Draft picks - 2

* Other postseason appearances (CBI, CIT) - 1
