Sooooo Providence losing by 5 points @#29 Ohio State isn't close?

I think he means close to (but not in) the top 50, not close games.

Yes, I could have labeled that better.

so looking this morning-
5-2 vs KP top 50
Nova 1-0 #19 Purdue
Xavier 1-0 #27 Clemson
Creighton 2-0 # 9 Wisconsin, #46 NC State
Georgetown 1-0 #10 Oregon
Marquette 0-1 #16 Michigan
Providence 0-1 #28 Ohio St

51-75
Nova 1-0 #62 Wake
Xavier 1-0 #66 No Iowa
Butler 1-0 #51(so close) Northwestern
Seton Hall 1-0 #59 Iowa
Georgetown 0-1 #54 Maryland
Marquette 1-1 #73 Vanderbilt, #55 Pittsburgh
St John's 0-1 #67 Minnesota

So 5-2 vs top 50, 10-5 vs top 75. Add in wins over UCF, Ole Miss, and 12-5 vs KP top 100 right now. just looking at the next game section on KP, of the 10 teams, got 3 teams next game vs top 50 team, and also 3 teams next game against top 100 team(with 2 top 75). Georgetown guaranteed to see also tomorrow now either #5 or 60.

And looking- in RPI right now 5-3 vs RPI top 50. But it's not like you may think. Nova is 2-0 vs RPI top 50, but they're Wake Forest and UCF. So still a bit early for that metric.

Xavier will have their hands full with top 50 teams. Rest of OOC with Baylor, Utah, Colorado and UC. Then comes the fun part in conf. Brutal.

yeah, I love your remaining OOC schedule:
67 Northern Iowa
94 North Dakota St
@ 25 Baylor
@ 44 Colorado
51 Utah
61 Wake Forest
260 E Washington(hey gotta have ONE cupcake)
@ 26 Cincy

Your overall schedule has exactly 3 games left with teams outside the top 100. EWU, and 2 with DePaul. Mad respect there.
