The bottom teams we added are so bad this year (as expected) that there could certainly be some gaudy records. Its all about avoiding that "bad" loss. Its not completely unreasonable to think CofC has a real shot. however as Osprey stated, unlikely a team doesnt have at least 3 losses in conference heading into the CAAT

So it's going to depend on who they lose to. UNCW still has a tough stretch ahead in OOC, but if we can do well our RPI should be decent. Same for Hofstra and Towson. So losses to any of those teams shouldn't know CofC out of at-large contention with the OOC signature wins they have under their belt.

Towson has games against Clemson and Bryant left, so a win against Clemson would give them a signature win as well. Hofstra has a shot at Purdue which could be a huge win, but their loss to Middle Tennesse could be a detriment.

Bottom line is that CofC, Towson and Hofstra are still in a position to get an at large, but Hofstra and Towson need to win out and get a big win to boot. And anyone with an at large shot in the CAA can't lose to any of the awful teams, and probably can't have more than two losses in the CAA to a top RPI team.

NET had replaced RPI

As for Charleston, they have yet to play a road game besides the UNC game and they don't leave the state of South Carolina until they go to Towson on 12/31

So while they have the best shot, I'm curious to see how they play on the road

They are in a tight one at home with ODU right now

They were in a tight one but are up 15 now. The road game aspect may be a real issue and Trask is always a rough place for them to play.
