Mean Green Cbs Sports Line Rpi

[chrisfisher]

We ranked #11 in the nation! Our RPI ranking is tied with 3 other schools for #11. Nice! Stats can be found here.

I heard people complain about Sargarin, and I think understand now.... Granted we moved up 80 slots to get to our current ranking of 100. But how in the hell does Oklahoma at 1-1 including a LOSS TO US, end up at at #81???? We are undefeated and have a SOS over 2x as difficult (#118 vs #261). I can't imagine how it is justified that OSU is ahead of us.... while I'm at it, Western Kentucky sits at 1-0 with an SOS of #313 and gets ranked #78. Again, with the exact same record, a 9 point win against previous Top 50 competition (OSU), and a SOS of #118, we somehow end up at #100. Makes no sense to me...

Sargarin just needs to go away...especially around tournament time.

I'm not sure where CBS gets their RPI from. Realtime RPI has us in the 50's(which is still great!)

I don't like Sagarin either but his ratings are primarily based on his compilations before the season starts. Most of it has to do with last year minus the starters lost and the ranking of the recruits. For the first ten games (I believe) new wins and losses are calculated into the ratings but they do not carry much weight. Supposedly, after the ten (or whatever) games, last year's aggregate drops off and it's figured on this year's performance.

(insert favorite sarcastic remark here), when we beat UT, we might be "fortunate" enough to break into the Top 50....

[e-bone ver2.awesome]

No rating or ranking or anything matters right now. If you don't believe it, save a copy of the preseason rankings and ratings and then take a look at the end of season versions. It's not even worth discussing until conference play starts.

[CMJ]

I generally agree with that e-bone. Not always the case(like last year Floida and Ohio State were near the top at the beginning, middle, and end of the season), but yeah.

We're just having some fun looking at early numbers though.

[chrisfisher]

More pointless fun..... we are #31 in the nation in the CBS Sportsline RPI poll.

Where's that mid-major ranking some people were enamored with?

We've got 7 votes.

[chrisfisher]

That was the opening Mid-Major poll (before any games were played). Wait until Monday, we'll have significantly more votes plus a possible Top 25 entry.

What a pointless poll ... which has no bearing on getting in to the tournament.
