Re: Ken Pomeroy

Can someone make any sense of this for me:

Look at George Mason. They are currently sitting at 16-6 overall.

1. Their best win of the year is against Hofstra who has an RPI of 97.
2. 8 of their victories have come against teams with RPIs of over 225.
3. They have lost 6 times to Hampton (261), Liberty (161), Dayton (33), Northeastern (57), VCU (62), and Old Dominion (179).
4. They did not play one single BCS conference sized school in their non-conference portion of their schedule.

Yet they have an RPI ranking of 56.

Tell me our resume looks just as good, if not BETTER than that one . . .

I guess I'm not following you. Did someone suggest George Mason deserved an at large?

Trying to figure out why their RPI is better than ours with a resume that appears to be worse

Re: Ken Pomeroy

I think someone might be confusing Pomeroy Rankings with RPI. They are two separate things...

No. No one suggested it. I'm just trying to figure out why their RPI is better than ours, yet their resume looks similar, if not worse.

They've also lost 3 of their last 5 games. Imagine what their RPI was before that stretch!

The poster who started this today, yes, was referring to the Pomeroy Ratings which I cannot for the life of me understand.

In my question referring to George Mason, I am speaking to RPI ratings.

Re: Ken Pomeroy

giving up 13 offensive rebounds last night musta helped out our poor national ranking in that department. I understand getting out for the fast break, but you gotta get the defensive board first.

Yes, I was referring to the Pomeroy rankings found at the link at the top of the page. I know the RPI has continued to rise. I just can't figure out why his rankings have us falling after wins. I know are OOC competition has stunk lately, but you would figure wins would trump that.

Damn Kwazdo, it's all his fault isn't it?

Re: Ken Pomeroy

at least iowa has a lot of winnable games forthcoming. they are a big factor in our RPI due to the strength of the big ten.

A loss to Indiana and their RPI of 187. Be sure to send along our thanks.

Not unless they're changing conferences tomorrow. That team's a mess.

Re: Ken Pomeroy

Iowa is still higher than us in the Pomeroy rankings.

Re: Ken Pomeroy

Re: Ken Pomeroy

After watching the UNI-Iowa game, I knew this was going to be a bad loss. They were a bad team...we were just worse. Too bad we can't have a couple do-overs in our non-conf.

Re: Ken Pomeroy

I think you could include UIC in the bad loss category along with Iowa and ISU. Had O' Rear been eligible, we probably win that one.
