I agree with them. I think he also needs to go back to the incentive scheme for scheduling that was used 5 or so years ago. SOS has seriously fallen off and it needs to improve.

Totally agree. Need more out of conference games to boost that SOS.

We are subject to that problem too though. We shot ourselves in the foot with the DePaul loss but we can't control Iowa and ISU being in the toilet. As bad as they are, we need to keep them on the schedule. We might however, need to find some 2-1 deals to try and pick the non-conference back up.

If we don't lose to DePaul we get Tennesse or Purdue in the second round of that tourney. That would have helped our SOS and RPI greatly.

Re: Elgin's Comments

We are not that far out. Our conference RPI is 9 and our SOS is 9. The difference between that powerhouse 6th ranked MWC and the MVC is .0054 in RPI points. I'm not sure what five thousands of a point represents, but it can't be much. The system is designed so that it is almost impossible for a non-BCS conference to break into the top 6. It can only happen if a BCS conference is horrible like P10 is this year. Remember not too many years ago the MVC was in 2nd place I think after the non-con schedule but dropped to 7th by the end of the year. The BCS teams get so much credit just for playing their conference schedule.

If IlSU had played anybody non-con and if CU had beaten anybody I imagine it would have made all the difference. I think UNI is holding up our end considering no one wants to play us and Iowa and ISU should be better.

This.


If Ill State would stop scheduling freaking high school teams for non-conference to pad their win count (that won't change as long as Jank-me is there) the MVC would have likely been 7th. However, P'unkass Stinnett did everything he could this year to make sure Creighton had their worst season in over a decade

Don't worry. Either Jank heads to Iowa or IlSU joins the big ten.
