Utah is decent. And if we beat Akron, we will almost definitely play Liberty the next day. They’re rated about the same (or better) than the Billikens.

According to RealTimeRPI

Miss St 43
SLU 65
Akron 94
Liberty 92 / Towson 181

Utah 141
Midd TN 245
Alcorn ST 276
Everyone else 300+

rpi is the only computer than doesnt use projective data...which you might like but at the same time, that makes it useless in till midseason (conference play)... you are better with a computer that uses projective data (like kenpom) and/or preseason polls (ignoring rpi is outdated)

liberty almost guaranteed to finish a top 50 team...utah likely ends up top 100 when its all said and done

akron likely to fall off to sub 150 or worse

saint louis is impossible to project..this was supposed to be a rebuilding year but are alredy outperforming expectations

According to KenPom


Miss St 42
SLU 112
Akron 101
Liberty 73 / Towson 146

Utah was 125
Midd TN 233
Alcorn ST 331

Pretty much the same and maybe even worse. Basically we better win out before conference.
