ESPN Says Our RPI Is Now 57, Sagarin = 28, KenPom = 30

[Tugg Speedman]

ESPN's Inside RPI = 57
KenPom = 30
Sagarin = 28

Sagarin also says we are 5 - 10 again the top 25.  That makes 15 top 25 games this year according to this ranking.  This still leads the nation and equals the total number of top 25 games we played from 1985 to 1993 (8 years).  Tonight's game will be number 16.

A decade's worth of top games in three months .... amazing.

Sagarin also puts our SoS at 9.

Lastly, the following is presented without comment ....

School      Rank     SoS     top 25  Top 50
Wisconsin    11       13       2-4      8-6
Marquette    28        9       5-10    5-12

kenpom hasn't updated last night's games yet, so we can expect another jump from there. If we can execute revenge on UL, I'll be very interested to see where our RPI ends up.

Maybe this team is not regressing. 

Using Sagarin's numbers ...

This year is the hardest schedule ever played.  The most top 25 and top 50 teams ever played in a season.
The most top 25 wins ever.  Only 2003's final four run had more top 10 wins for a season.

MU fans have seen nothing like this year's schedule.
