Picked up a big Group 1 win this week @Wichita St. UCF barely dropped out of Group 1, and Florida moved back in. We're at 5-4 in Group 1, 8-0 in Group 2 and no bad losses. Tulsa and Miss St are at 68 and 69, and probably need to win their first games this week to stay in the top 75. UCF is at 78, but only .0009 points behind top 75. That's a small enough margin that they could move up in the next few days. Still, they need to beat ECU and pass three teams to get back into Group 1. Looking ahead to the AAC tournament, UConn is at 107 and could be a top 100 Group 2 game. Tulsa is at 68 and would be a Group 2 game. It's interesting that 75 is the most important cutoff - Charleston, UNC Greensboro, and Utah Valley are occupying spots 73-75, which is keeping major conference teams Penn State, South Carolina, and UCF just on the wrong side. It's a small difference that can have a big impact on a lot of resumes. We'll see how that evolves over the week. Last edited by sedziobs; 03-05-2018 at 10:09 AM. |

Anyone else think this group stuff is kind of dumb? I don't understand how it's even possible to think beating UCF on the road (providing they get back up to group 1) should count same as beating Wichita St. On the road, Duke at home, or Michigan on a neutral floor. A top 75 team in the NCAA isn't even close to being the same as beating a top 15 team at home. Those teams are light years apart in quality.

you are right, but it isn't about trying to match beating the best of the best. its about saying beating a team like seton hall or penn state at home is about as tough as beating a team like providence or indiana on the road. but the old system said beating duke at home and on the road were the same. thats messed up too. |

I agree. I think there should be an additional quad for the top 15. There is a big difference between the top 10-15 teams and teams in the 50s and 60s.

The quadrant system isn't a wholesale change. It simply adjusts for game locations. Lots of people are struggling with this. Jim Nantz said during the Mich St/Michigan game that the quadrant system is bad because it doesn't give Mich St credit for beating Notre Dame with Bonzi Colson. That has absolutely nothing to do with the new quadrant system. It would be the same with the old RPI system. Tim Miles blamed the new quadrant system for Nebraska probably being left out, when in fact it makes their resume better than the old system. |

I understand that concept for the change. But it makes no sense that beating the 75th ranked team counts just as much as beating a top 5 team. They both still just count as 1 group 1 win.
