UC is now 5-4 against the RPI top 50. Back on the bubble?

Who dropped out of the Top 50? Seton Hall?
CBS Sportsline RPI has Cincinnati at 67 currently. When I see teams like Oregon(RPI 48, 22-8), VCU(59, 26-6), currently OUT, this concerns me. UC currently has 8 wins vs teams with winning records: Northwestern State(16-15), Pitt(16-15), ND(21-10), GTown(22-7), UConn(18-12), Seton Hall (19-11), UL(22-9), and Marquette(25-6). Pitt and Northwestern State could easily lose another game making it 6 wins vs teams with winning records. On top of this, UC has losses to Presbyterian(14-15), Saint Johns(13-18), & Rugers(14-17). I think we'll make it but the RPI scares me ----- Oregon has 9 wins vs teams with winning records and it could easily go to 10 if WSU wins a game: Portland State, NCCU, Stephen F Austin, Stanford, Arizona, Washington, UCLA, Oregon State, Colorado Last edited by User Name:; 03-04-2012 at 11:08 AM. |

Bubble Watch UC:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bubblewatch "Cincinnati [21-9 (11-6), RPI: 65, SOS: 121] Say what you will about Cincinnati's nonconference scheduling habits. The Watch has no idea why the Bearcats would schedule four nonconference games like Radford, Alabama State, Chicago State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff for any reason other than generosity toward low-low-low-majors, because there is absolutely no RPI upside to playing four sub-300 RPI teams at home. But never mind that now: In their past three games, the Bearcats have beaten Louisville and Marquette (and lost at South Florida by one), adding two wins to a 6-3 mark against the RPI top 50 and jumping out to 21-9 overall and 11-6 in the Big East. Make no mistake, those computer numbers are awful, and the committee is no fan of teams that schedule this poorly in the nonconference on a regular basis. But throw the RPI away here. This team deserves to be in the tournament right now, and its shoddy nonconference structure doesn't change that fact. " Andy Glockner @AndyGlockner Not yet, but in better position after this week. RT @StrailMix: @AndyGlockner is UC finally off the bubble? Jeff Borzello also saying UC is still squarely on the bubble. |

We CANNOT be on the bubble! CANNOT! The bubble is weak. We finished 4th in the BE for Chrissakes. |

BA1 the I'll take Lunardi's opinion over any of those guys. His track record is unquestionable. He has UC squarely in. I believe they are solidly in as well. Last season we heard the same talk and they received a 6th seed so they were never in the bubble equation. I think they are a 9 now with the possibility of climbing. They have two many good wins and are 4th in one of the top 3 leagues in the nation. Just stop the crazy talk. They are in.
