    It says that if there haven't been any conference games played yet, the autobid goes to the team with the higest RPI. Therefore we get the autobid.

        Teams outside the power conferences rarely fare well in preseason bracket projections. Then the games begin and we see once again that "pedigree" is often no match for experienced talent and clever coaching. Saint Louis (8-1), Murray State (7-0), Harvard (8-1), Creighton (7-1), Northern Iowa (9-2), Iona (8-2), Cleveland State (9-1), Wichita State (8-2), Saint Mary's (4-1) and Marshall (6-2) are a combined 68-11, including 15-4 against BCS opponents. The latter figure accounts for the unusually strong seeding of these teams in the current bracket, although history isn't on their side.
        Apparently we were scheduled for a game that nobody knew about, not even the university!

          They're banking on a loss to Loras.

            If it's ESPN, then they are probably looking at NIU's record...
            It's about time we make the McLeod LOUD!

              Normally I can see this but NIU is 0-9, thats not even close! But they might get their first win since they are playing SIU!

                My Ohio Bobcats are 8-1, with our only loss by 5 at Louisville, and up to #15 in the RPI this morning. While that RPI will certainly drop a bit during MAC play, do we have a legitimate shot at an at-large bid this year? Is the game vs. Northern Iowa on Tuesday a "must win" for us to get one?


                Joe Lunardi

                It's going to drop more than a "bit," Larry. Not even the most ardent Ohio fan would place the Bobcats anywhere near the Top 15. Having said that, yes, the return BracketBusters game vs. UNI is equally critical for both schools in terms of an at-large.
