RE: AAC Scores Week 18
Let's review the top four conference teams as of now by comparing their schedules. Here is the preseason poll. FAU-1, Memphis-2, USF-9, Charlotte-13. Because USF and Charlotte were projected to be in the bottom half they were given the easiest schedules by quite a bit.

[Image: QyIOcvo.jpg]

USF played 2 games against:
* #12 Temple
* #14 UTSA
* #13 Charlotte CBI Champions
* #11 Rice
* #10 Tulsa
USF played the five worst preseason teams twice. (avg. #12)

USF played 1 game against:
* #8 Wichita State
* #4 UAB
* #2 Memphis
* #5 ECU
* #6 North Texas
* #1 FAU
* #3 Tulane
* #7 SMU
USF played the top 8 preseason teams only once.

Charlotte played two games against:
* #9 USF
* #14 UTSA
* #5 ECU
* #11 Rice
* #10 Tulsa
Charlotte played only one team in the upper half twice.


Charlotte
played 1 game against:
* #8 Wichita State
* #4 UAB
* #2 Memphis
* #12 Temple
* #6 North Texas
* #1 FAU
* #3 Tulane
* #7 SMU
Charlotte played the top four preseason teams just once each.


FAU played 5 teams twice. #2 Memphis, #6 North Texas, #8 Wichita State, #4 UAB, #3 Tulane. Four teams in the top half. (avg. #4.6)

FAU
played 8 teams once. #5 ECU, #13 Charlotte, #14 UTSA, #11 Rice, #10 Tulsa, #12 Temple, #9 USF, #7 SMU. Six teams in the bottom half. (avg. #9.5)


Memphis played 5 teams twice. #7 SMU, #3 Tulane, #8 Wichita State, #4 UAB, #1 FAU. Four teams in the top half. (avg. #4.6)

Memphis
played 8 teams once. #5 ECU, #13 Charlotte, #14 UTSA, #11 Rice, #10 Tulsa, #12 Temple, #9 USF, #6 North Texas. (avg. #9.375)

Memphis and FAU by far had the most difficult schedules in the conference by far, if you go by preseason rankings.

I get trying not trying to hurt the favorites to keep their Net up, but they may have hurt the teams they were trying to protect. Both Memphis and FAU are in danger of not making the tournament. Especially Memphis.

Memphis hurt itself by losing to lower teams like Tulane and Rice . Is a catch 22 if you play too many of the lower teams, then wins don’t help your NET and loses hurts more.
Even though USF won the league is paying for the easier schedule in the NET.

RE: AAC Scores Week 18
The league’s schedule was designed to provide the best opportunity for the projected best teams to maintain their NCAA Tournament resume. It was a wise strategy.

The problem is Memphis failure to win conference games and the failure of the rest of the conference (at this date) to replace Memphis - particularly USF who botched their OOC games.

So you were set up to qualify for a high seed in the NCCAT and failed in conference. Who are you mad at?

USF improved immensely throughout the year. We knew we would be better as the year went on. New coach. New team. Nobody thought we'd improve this much though.

Edit: BTW I say failed because I think Memphis is a better team than they showed this year.

I simply state a reasonable conclusion- namely Memphis’ failure to win conference games and USF’s failure to win OOC games and the rest of the conference’s failure to replace Memphis prevents the AAC from receiving two NCAA bids at this point.

I am unhappy the AAC to date has missed opportunities. Are you happy about it? SMH.

Not making excuses. Trying to point out USF was given the weakest schedule according to preseason predictions. That award usually goes to the team predicted to finish last. USF was predicted to finish 9th. Charlotte played a weak schedule, but it was more difficult than USF's and they were predicted to finish 13th. Why? Is that an excuse or a fact? Is it an excuse or an observation?

Memphis and FAU were given the most difficult schedules and both are two spots lower than their predicted finish based on preseason rankings. That too is a fact.

Every team in the AAC play 5 teams twice, and 8 teams once. USF played the 5 lowest rated teams twice. That's a fact. Memphis and FAU played the highest rated teams twice. Fact. It would have been worse if they could have played themselves twice. lol

You just don't want anyone to point out the facts for discussion. Since you were being a wise guy, lets take it a step farther.

USF (Net 79) had a record of 7-4 OOC. You played 1 P5 team in Florida State State and won. FSU is 15-14, 9th in the ACC.

Memphis (Net 71) played 9 P5 teams going 10-2 with losses to Villanova and Ole Miss. The ACC teams we played and beat are in 3rd and 4th place. Virginia and Clemson. The four teams you lost to were C. Michigan, Maine, Hofstra, and UMass. Our so called bad losses came after losing two of our main players Mills and Brown. The four teams were USF, UAB, Tulane and Rice.

FAU (Net 35) played four P5 teams, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Illinois, and Arizona. They were 10-3 with losses to Illinois, Bryant and Florida Gulf Coast. They barely lost anything in the Net with their two bad losses. We were ranked 10th in the country at 15-2, and still only had a Net around 40. Kind of strange, don't you think.

As it stands USF is in the tournament. USF had 4 bad losses to our 2 bad losses. You have a NET of 79 to our NET of 71, and we're not in the tournament. FAU has 2 bad losses like Memphis, a NET of 35 to our 71 even though our overall records are almost the same. 22-8 vs 22-7. They played 4 P5 teams (to USF's 1), and Memphis played 9 P5 teams. FAU is also in the tournament. At least they played a difficult schedule as did Memphis.

What I don't understand is comparing the three of us, why we have to to win out to get into the tournament, and you two are already in. We had the most difficult schedule and the second highest NET. Something's not right.

Not making excuses. Trying to point out USF was given the weakest schedule according to preseason predictions. That award usually goes to the team predicted to finish last. USF was predicted to finish 9th. Charlotte played a weak schedule, but it was more difficult than USF's and they were predicted to finish 13th. Why? Is that an excuse or a fact? Is it an excuse or an observation?

Memphis and FAU were given the most difficult schedules and both are two spots lower than their predicted finish based on preseason rankings. That too is a fact.

Every team in the AAC play 5 teams twice, and 8 teams once. USF played the 5 lowest rated teams twice. That's a fact. Memphis and FAU played the highest rated teams twice. Fact. It would have been worse if they could have played themselves twice. lol

You just don't want anyone to point out the facts for discussion. Since you were being a wise guy, lets take it a step farther.

USF (Net 79) had a record of 7-4 OOC. You played 1 P5 team in Florida State State and won. FSU is 15-14, 9th in the ACC.

Memphis (Net 71) played 9 P5 teams going 10-2 with losses to Villanova and Ole Miss. The ACC teams we played and beat are in 3rd and 4th place. Virginia and Clemson. The four teams you lost to were C. Michigan, Maine, Hofstra, and UMass. Our so called bad losses came after losing two of our main players Mills and Brown. The four teams were USF, UAB, Tulane and Rice.

FAU (Net 35) played four P5 teams, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Illinois, and Arizona. They were 10-3 with losses to Illinois, Bryant and Florida Gulf Coast. They barely lost anything in the Net with their two bad losses. We were ranked 10th in the country at 15-2, and still only had a Net around 40. Kind of strange, don't you think.

As it stands USF is in the tournament. USF had 4 bad losses to our 2 bad losses. You have a NET of 79 to our NET of 71, and we're not in the tournament. FAU has 2 bad losses like Memphis, a NET of 35 to our 71 even though our overall records are almost the same. 22-8 vs 22-7. They played 4 P5 teams (to USF's 1), and Memphis played 9 P5 teams. FAU is also in the tournament. At least they played a difficult schedule as did Memphis.

What I don't understand is comparing the three of us, why we have to to win out to get into the tournament, and you two are already in. We had the most difficult schedule and the second highest NET. Something's not right.

Well USF beat both FAU and Memphis H2H...

Funny you left that out.

I don’t believe USF is in. I think USF will need to beat Tulsa and get to AAC Championship to really have a good shot at being in. And if they lose the AAC Title to anyone other than FAU the chances get lower

Yes you did, and it's funny that you played us at home after all the distractions started, and we played in the worst crowd of the year because of an ice storm. Our administration told everyone not to go to the game because it was too dangerous.

We still managed to get a 20 point lead on you and pissed it away losing by one point. It triggered a 15 game winning streak for USF. You're welcome : )
