Hey All,
The new ESPN.com Mid-Major Rankings are out. We made it in with the 9th spot. I personally feel a ranking of 6th or 7th would be more like it.
We have a better RPI than two of the teams ahead of us. We're ranked at 66th, Central Florida is 76th and, E. Tenn. St. doesn't even deserve to be in there with the 98th spot.
3 of our 4 losses were to teams ahead of us. Two of those are ranked in the RPI top 25 (UW 10 and NC St 21).
I guess what's really hurting us in the loss to Santa Clara (113th RPI) and the fact that the league is down this year. But we should continue to rise as we keep on blowing through the league. And if we keep on the roll we've been on we just might see a Top 25 Poll Ranking by the end of the year (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!)
Any ways, let me know what you think and see ya at the BP show tonight!
By the way lets get on the Marquette fans on their discussion board. We now are higher in the RPI then they are. They placed 68th. It might only be two spots but who cares.
