I think the main thing the committee focused on last year was not only total opportunities with top 50 but also the % of wins in that category. We fell short on both. That doesn't have to happen this year. We might not have the total opportunities as other conferences but we can win a better %. Column 2 is going to look great this year! Column 1 is still very suspect if we don't win a good %. Our opportunities aren't as many and not as highly ranked as we need them to be. We need WSU to clean house outside of our games with them. |

The PAC 12 and WAC ones are. I'm just excited to sit around the sportsbook and bet on games. Both times I've gone before UC has lost on a 3 at the buzzer the first day (West Va and UConn). Here's to hoping for a better result!

I won't hear any arguments that says the league isn't improving.
The fact that teams are canablizing each other on the road shows as much. While its top heavy with elite teams, the middle is really improved. The league picked up 19 wins against the power 6 schools. Dawkins has UCF trending up Tulane is much improved Tulsa is holding steady at being mediorce Memphis can go either way but I think Tubby gets them going eventiually Sampson is recruiting well and has Houston on the bubble Jank is a great coach and is bringing in talented guys Temple is a mess yet still really talented. They schedule so hard, they never have a bad RPI Only 3 schools in this league are trending down; UCONN, ECU and USF. All 3 have or will have new coaches soon. While I'd love to be in the big 12, at least we are making progress |

The last time I went to Vegas to bet on BB was when we played UCLA in 2002. I lost some big money and don't want to try it again...lol! I have been back since but only to lose money playing tables. I prefer losing money on tables to losing money on my team. Hard for me to bet against them...and my heart usually wins over my head...lol!

The conference RPI shows improvement from last year. Despite being ranked 7th again, the rating has improved from 5242 to 5437. Last year we were way behind the top 6 (259 points behind). This year we're only 160 behind. That's a significant difference. And when you consider that we have two teams around RPI 300 dragging us down, the middle and top are comparable to the Big Ten and PAC12.
