SouthernJet Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes, but all the conference RPI is BS. uh no,,,its whats also used by committee to gauge competition..if a conf RPI is high it helps teams on bubble..logic is they play tougher games day in and day out.. if logic says indiv RPI is OK, then the sum of parts must be used also..u cant look at Top 5 teams and say this conf better..cause u play all 12 or 16 teams in a conference,,so the whole has to counted in the end..

uart Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Um... but SJ, your team RPI accounts for strength of schedule already. Sooo what does USF's out-of-conference schedule have to do with whether or not Providence or WVU gets into the tournament (for example)? What I'm getting at is: Conference RPI is kind of lame, and if the committee gives it any real weight at all, I'd be very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 if 2 teams on bubble and RPI very close they will favor the team with a stronger RPI conf, figuring they had a tuffer go of it over course of year I think they weigh last 10 games more than RPI if 2 teams are close.

PS17 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 yes.. both sons went there for undergrad... Cool, I root for Syracuse cause my older bro went there & I visited him 3+ times and went to see games in the Carrier Dome. I saw them play Wichita State, (the year after they made the Sweet 16) and they were down 20+ in the second half & they came all the way back to tie & then some douchebag on the Orange blew a wide open layup with 30 seconds left. They would have won. Just saying, it was the most amazing sports environment I have ever been in. Syracuse is where I want to go to school as well, so I have always just pulled for them.

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 ND pushed UConn to the limit, but couldn't get it done. Have to take the next two at home and get on a run in the BE tourney. I found it funny that Thabeet was too hurt to take those free throws but he was in there not too long after. Joke. And I hope everyone now knows Clark Kellogg wants to perform fellatio on the big guy as well. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 hahaha...Back in the rankings now? Possibly, but dont think so. If I had a guess Id say we're around 27 or 26. We might sneak in as #25 in one of the polls. We have to beat Rutgers on Tuesday and if we pull out an upset vs Marq on Saturday we'll be headed into the BET as possibly a top 15 team. Would be nice.

uart Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Syracuse is where I want to go to school as well, so I have always just pulled for them. You should go to Villanova. The student section in the Pavillion is way more fun than the Carrier Dome. Also, 'Nova is not in the boonies of upstate NY and we've got good academics 'n' stuff.

GOOD BYE I HOPE G-Town's bubble is burst... or all the Villanova fans chanting "N-I-T! N-I-T!" at the Georgetown students in the 200-level are going to look silly. That was a horrible game. It was like both teams were trying to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but the 2 teams you beat aren't good, you took care of business so you deserve credit for that but I don't think you deserve to be back in the rankings yet but you probably will be.

uart Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Cuse is back in at 25 in both polls. Nova only dropped 1 in the AP (according to ESPN) to 11, and dropped a few spots to #16 in the Coaches Poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they aren't good. They took care of business and beat the crap out of both of them by 20+. I'm really looking forward to the next two games, ESP. Marquette on Saturday, a very winnable game.
