    Rpi (1/15/06)

    As of this morning (1/15/06) realtimerpi.com has the Valley RPI's like this:

    SIU #17
    UNI #25
    MSU #28
    CU #29
    WSU #34

    kenpom.com has the Valley like this:

    UNI #21
    SIU #25
    WSU #27
    MSU #28
    CU #30

    Either way, it's putting the Valley in good shape as of today (always subject to change). Now, it's ok if the teams listed above beat each other. What they can't do is lose to the teams NOT listed above. That's what could drag the conference RPI down. So, for example, Creighton needs to beat Indiana State today to help keep the conference RPI where it is currently.

    Also, as far as UNI's opponents, they went 7-5 yesterday. Wins by: Iowa, Western Carolina, Bradley, Florida A&M, UMKC and (the BIGGIE) LSU took down once defeated Tennessee! Losses by: Iowa State, Dayton, Evansville, Western Michigan (disappointing) and Missouri State.

    Today, Creighton and Loyola (Chicago) play. We need the Ramblers to get it going again. They play UIC on ESPNU at 3:05 PM for those interested.

    Have a great RPI day

          I think everyone lives in "God's Country". There has yet to be a place that I have gone to in the US, where the locals haven't refered to their area as "God's Country".

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

            RealTime now has UNI at 22, although it's always changing on game days. However, Pomeroy now has LSU at 44. Hopefully that means UNI can have at least 3 Top 50 road wins if they're an at-large.

                Yesterday, Loyola (IL) and Creighton got wins. So, UNI's opponent's record was 2-0.

                  After last night Pomeroy http://www.kenpom.com/rpi.php has UNI at 14th, CBS has them at 15, and ESPN at 19. It will be interesting to see how long the MVC can have 5 teams in the Top 30.

                  I hadn't seen the site mentioned before, but Mid Majority.com at http://www.midmajority.com/
                   is a place to read coverage about the MVC and other mid-majors.

                    As long as those top five do not lose to the bottom five, the top 5 teams should stay in the top 30 RPI (or close to it).

                      Couldn't agree more PTTB. It would be nice to see Bradley creep (although I'm not sure how this is possible) into the Top 50.

                      I've said it before, but this is exactly how the BCS conferences have been so strong in Conference RPI and Team RPI in the past. They establish 5 or 6 good teams with Top 50-60 RPI's and then they beat up on each other in conference play, but beat the bottom feeders in their conference and their overall and conference RPI's stay put. It's how they get multiple bids to the NCAA's.

                      Now, let's see if the Selection Committee treats the Valley much like they've treated the other conferences who have ended the season at #5 in the last 7 years of basketball history.

                        All I know is that if the Big 12 or Pac 10 get more bids than the Valley this thing is rigged worse than I ever imagined. Big 12 has Texas and thats about it KU, ISU, OU, and Mizzou are all losing games and oklahoma was extremely over ranked. Hopefully the committee recognizes an over blown BCS from a solid Mid-Major and gets the bids to the teams who deserve them.

                          I don't know who was on the selection committee last year, but this year's group seems to have pretty good "mid-major" representation. Maybe that will help the Valley's case. I don't see any Big East represtentatives, so maybe they won't get eight teams in after all


                          Craig K. Littlepage, AD, University of Virginia
                          Gerald L. Myers, AD, Texas Tech University
                          Karl D. Benson, Commissioner, Western Athletic Conference
                          Michael L. Slive, Commissioner, Southeastern Conference
                          Gary D. Walters, AD, Princeton University
                          Thomas J. O'Connor, AD, George Mason University
                          Jonathan B. Le Crone, Commissioner, Horizon League
                          Daniel Guerrero, AD, UCLA
                          Robert Vowels, Commissioner, SWAC

                          Maybe it wouldn't hurt to play (and hopefully beat) George Mason in the Bracket Buster.

                            Wasn't Bob Bowlsby on the Selection Committee last year?

                            As long as David Moss is out, then there should be three (Ind State, Ill State, and Evansville), and maybe four teams (Drake), that should be defeated on the road by UNI, SIU, Wichita State, Creighton, and Missouri State. Losing at Normal may come back to hurt Creighton. Hopefully the MVC will receive four bids. I don't expect more even if the season ends with five MVC teams in the RPI Top 30-40.

                            The key in being able to justify three and four NCAA bids in future years will be for the MVC to have a couple of wins in the first round of the Tournament, and maybe one in the second, which the MVC hasn't been able to do every season. Otherwise, those who ignore the mid-majors (Bilas, Vitale, etc.) will sit on ESPN and tell us why mid-majors shouldn't receive multiple invitations. I realize that the MVC teams usually end up as double digit seeds stacking the deck, but the MVC teams may end up with multiple single digit seeds this season. Those single digit seeds need to win to help keep the pressure on the Selection Committee to give the MVC at least three bids a season after this season.

                              If memory serves he wasn't just on it, but was the head of it.
