the Nolan site seems to be messed up- in the league standings it's fine, but the RPI and the conference OOC record aren't updated. From RPI forecast the leagues records entering today- 76-23. Warren Nolan has the league record being 76-22- so not even including last night's loss by St John's. Should now be 79-27.

Im sure most of the other power conferences have cupcakes to end the non-conference schedule as well. Fact is, like it or not (probably not), the Big East has solidified themselves within the top 3 of the rpi again....

I'm okay with that as long as it means a lot of wins. The Big East already has the second highest win percentage but I'd still like to see it closer to 80%. It's important given that we play so many conference games and the makeup of the RPI formula.

Referring to Stever's last post.

not really though.

The Big 12 and SEC still have a challenge end of January. And some of the other conferences have some strong OOC left...

And would say even this- going into today, the projected end of season RPI was 4 (and end of season OOC RPI was 5- not sure how that can happen).

The conference also has a few Jan games that are dogs.

Good job by Providence taking care of business without Dunn.

I think given that we're 80-27, and there's only 18 left (the list I gave- plus Nova/Temple, Georgetown/UConn, Marquette/Stetson in Jan)- that would be a max of 98-27, or .784.

Realistically final winning percentage will be close to last year's 94-31. But with a weaker SOS.

This thread would be so much more fun if Georgetown hadn't shit the bed again.
