rpi in football??? that is the weakest spin so far... Hell, don't we dismiss rpi in basketball until conference play starts?

That's just as bad. I'm fairly certain that both Massey and Sagarin ratings are predicated on prior year results to start the season, and even if they are not, the data is utterly meaningless until there are enough results to correlate.

just by looking at the usa "sagarin" ratings, they have Houston better than UTSA, SMU better than UNT, UNM better than UTEP. Those are just games off the top of my head where these rankings make absolutely no sense. I'm guessing it takes into account the previous season

Correct. Those ranking are partially based from past seasons performance which essentually make it worthless today

1. No ECU fan posted the real time RPI link over here to my knowledge. I think it was a Houston fan.
2. CUSA is not closer to the Big Ten than we are to CUSA according to that link.
3. Y'all call yourself the best "G5" conference, but then claim there aren't enough results for the computer polls to work. If that's the case why not discontinue the human polls until week 8. If the computers don't have enough results, people certainly don't.

Logic need not apply to this discussion.



So cut the crap. I am better than you in every single way. Na na na na boo boo.

We are the best G5 conference. Our record against other G5 opponents speaks for itself. When you guys start dominating the other G5 schools like we have then you can lay claim to it. Until then, we are the leaders.

If we schedule FIU, Idaho, Georgia State, etc... And win them all with a couple mid-teir "G5" teams playing our top teams we would probably be undefeated right now too.

Except that isn't what happened. Houston will likely finish 4th or 5th. Tulsa is predicted to be right in the middle of the AAC whether or not anyone from the AAC wants to admit that. Tulsa may be bad this year, but you guys obviously have 3-4 teams worse than Tulsa your league and that really doesn't speak well for the AAC right now.

And yes, a majority of the teams CUSA has beaten are now 90+ in the rankings now. Of course they are after only 3 weeks into the season. If you're a G5 you've likely already lost a game to a P5 (or two). Tack on another loss to a G5 and you're guaranteed 1-2 at a minimum and in the bottom 30 in the country almost. If all of these teams had instead beaten CUSA teams then they wouldn't be in the bottom 30-40 in the country, all the CUSA teams would. There's only a handful of G5 teams that the general public don't consider to be bad/terrible. You can't just say "well you beat a bad team" everytime someone gets beat from your conference. Beating bad teams is much better than losing to bad teams.

100% agree.

Until the non-cartel conferences get over the dichotomy that the only good wins are cartel wins I don't know why anyone should respect our schools.

Look at college basketball, it is understood that many "mid-major" wins are superior to "major" conference schools. Why should anyone be beating their chest about smashing Vanderbilt or Wake Forest? Those teams blow, it doesn't matter that they happen to be in the cartel. And it doesn't help perception to beat those schools then crow about it. Sorry, but I believe beating Houston, BGSU or ULL is a much bigger deal than knocking off a returned-to-form Vanderbilt.

The so-called P5 conferences have us so screwed up that we are here going back-n-forth on who's the best of the so-called rest. We should be propping up each G5 while the P5 will continue to be a pageantry. I'm glad ECU beat V-Tech and I hope you all beat some more teams like that. But in doing so don't become the monster we all hate (Dont look down on your brethren because it doesnt matter how many P5 teams any of beat we wont be included in that block due to greed) . We should be trying to dismantle the P5 or make it inclusive to be P10.

Actually it does matter who the better G5 conference is. The higher ranked overall conference gets a larger chunk of the revenue sharing.
