    Kenpom.com 1/10/07

    At www.kenpom.com this morning, he has the Valley as the #2 RPI conference and has 9 of the 10 Valley teams in the Top 100, only with Drake outside the Top 100 @ 107. UNI is at 32 I believe. I'm interested to see how long the Valley stays put.

    Indiana State and Southern have a chance to join into a 5-way tie for first place tonight @ 4-1 if they pick up "W's".

    I'll say it one final time - The MVC is not going to drop out of the top 4 this year. For those who think the OOC winning percentage is going to doom us, you cannot look at that from past years and draw that conclusion. Valley teams go on the road and play tough opponents in the OOC schedule, the BCS conference schools don't. If we played all our OOC at home like they do for the most part the win percentage would have been 95%.

    The only caveat is if we have a disastrous BB weekend.

    5 Valley teams in the NCAA.

      Don't know if you noticed but after last night the MVC dropped from 2nd to 4th in overall conference RPI. There is quite a bit of space between 4 (MVC) and 5 (B10) though, and we are still very close to 2 (SEC & ACC - tied). Anyway, just thought it was worth noting.

      Also, we dropped from 32 to 41 after last night's games.

        The Valley is 4th in the conference RPI today.

        2 Southeastern Conference .5857
        3 Atlantic Coast Conference .5857
        4 Missouri Valley Conference .5854

        The conference is .0003 of a % point from being #2 again. Wichita needs to start winning again (for the good of the conference RPI).

          Does it matter which Valley teams win to help conference RPI? I would think it is our non-conference opponents that would cause it to rise or fall. Teams like Loyola and Butler losing probably hurt us last night.

            I kinda hope Iowa St. keeps winning would help since they are 0-3 vs. the valley

              It's a combination of teams within our league and the non-conference opponents. For example, it hurts when WSU (best non-conference RPI) loses last night to Indiana State in my opinion...plus it hurts that Loyola lost by 26 to Wright State. But...but it probably helped that Wisconsin beat Ohio State.

                So what you are saying is that it is basically pointless to worry about UNI's and the MVC's RPI until the end of February.

                Win and we won't have to worry about it at all!
