WEEK 6 AP/Coaches

[billyjack]

PC's RPI is at 26, right? And we've made 3 consecutive tourneys.

Cincinnati is 1-2 vs the Top-100, with its win being against #98 Iowa State.
PC's win over URI was dismissed as being against an overrated team or something... ok, Cincinnati lost to URI.

An answer which wouldn't drive me f-ing nuts is something along the lines of "voters don't put too much research into this, PC probably deserves a couple of votes, and Cincinnati is probably overrated".

An answer which totally drives me f-ing nuts is to call out PC's Top-100 record of 2-2 (L's at Ohio State and vs neutral Virginia) as a legitimate reason for not getting votes, while failing to use the same measuring device on Cincinnati, who is 1-2 vs Top-100... or saying 6 straight NCAA's gives them the benefit of the doubt, yet PC's 3 straight NCAA's are dismissed.

Whatever... Cincinnati blows.

I honestly do not know anyone's RPI. That is an end-of-year metric, it's not really pertinent for a couple of months.

It's still early for the RPI to be all that valid. I mean, prime case in point, UCF is still #25 in RPI.

in Ken Pom, Cincy has already played 3 top 50 teams. With all 3 of them away from home.
Providence has played 3 top 50 teams, with 1 of them at home.

Cincy has by far the better win in Ken Pom vs Iowa St(on the road), compared to PC's win over Rhode Island(at home).

Frankly with PC, the voters are thinking you all aren't much after losing Dunn and Bentil. And despite the win over a questionable now Rhode Island team, you all just don't have the flashy win that draws the voters attention.

Yeah, still a bit early, but I'm starting to get really excited about tonight's game, which will be one of the few remaining important RPI games for the Big East. Seton Hall knocking off the SEC's #1 RPI team will continue to lift us and drop that conference, which we've fared tremendously well against (5-1) so far. Go Hall!

Lets hope Hall has been practicing FTs...

But of course, the Hall is the team responsible for that 1 L. A "neutral court" loss to Florida in Orlando. This time the bs neutral court is in their favor, so hopefully the fans show up and the Pirates can take advantage. It's the closest thing they have to a non-conference home game against a team with a pulse this year.

Look no further than Syracuse getting 2 A: votes and 16 coaches votes....

They are 6-3 with a 153 RPI.... only BC's is worse.
