Stever no one is acting like the AAC is the 14th best conference. They are acting like they are the 9th or 10th best conference, which is accurate.

Stever... wait a minute here... it appears UConn just lost.

How is that possible? According to RPI Forecast this was a game they were supposed to win! And surely one you expected them to win.

Guess it's not as simple as just predicting they will win every game they're favored in, huh?

Well, that sure messes up that "Stever Formula" . UCon 86 RPI- NIT level rank.

You still have to win games too, right?

Stever preparing to pump up Tulsa's chances and defend UConn in 3.....2....1.....

Ironically Tulsa may have the best chance at making it this year. Which would be a disaster for the AAC if they're the only one in.

Im so pissed right now. Connecticut losing to Tulsa is inexcusable. This season is done for Uconn. No way they are getting themselves out of the hole they have digged themselves into. Gonna have to win the AAC tourney

I mean, Tulsa isn't awful and it was on the road. I think they still have a chance.

I just don't see how they can get a top 45 RPI at this point. They would have to go perfect the rest of the way. They have so many RPI killers coming up.

Gotta win the AAC Tourney at this point

In Ken Pom, Tulsa was favored.

Tulsa is getting pretty interesting. They do have a good OOC win in Wichita which is getting better each week. Good win now over UConn. Their RPI right now is 56....They're going to be a threat. RIght now projected at 19-11. 1 more win and they have 20 wins. SOS is good. Expected SOS is 63. You get 20 wins with a top 65 SOS you're going to have a real good case. And no D2 loss to kill them this year.

AS far as UConn, they started this week with RPI of 82. What is it right now? 85. So not a huge drop off for losing on the road to a top 65 team. It'd be very similar to someone in the Big East losing to a Seton Hall on the road right now. Not that big of a deal.

Honest Injun, did you just type all that with a straight face?

Funny how we go from talking to RPI Forecast to whatever metric you want. They were favored in RPI Forecast by 2-3 points.

They're playing catch up and are supposed to be moving up in the RPI ranking, not down.

I could play your game and say what if Uconn loses the next couple games and drop below 100 (or whatever, I didn't look it up), but don't worry I won't drag this out longer.
