Pomeroy up to 38

[MUDPT]

Highest since before Ohio State.

Predicting 4th place in Big East at 10-8.

[ChicosBailBonds]

95 in the RPI right now

[Tugg Speedman]

95 in the RPI right now

That will go up again with New Mexico this Saturday.

What is our highest ever non-confernece RPI?  Anyone know?  Is this it?

10-8 will mean NIT.

[Dawson Rental]

10-8 will mean NIT.

It will, but it will also mean no improvement over the team's average performance over these first 10 games.  I'd bet against that from a Buzz coached team.

[Benny B]

10-8 will mean NIT.

Not if you end the season 3-0.

Are you talking about SoS?

Lunardi has MU as one of the last teams in.  12/16/13 version.

Road trip to Dayton!

Truthfully, I think we now begin the long, slow climb back up.  I wouldn't be shocked to see us make it all the way back into the Top 25 at some point.

This is what I'm thinking.  I'm almost expecting it.

Did we drop out of the top 25 last year?

[jsglow]

Yes, I believe we did.  I don't think we started in the Top 25 and I'm fairly certain we were out at this point in the season.

My thoughts exactly.

Lunardi's RPI shows Marq at 85......those guys in Madison are at 1

[Tugg Speedman]

Are you talking about SoS?

Yes braincramp ...thanks

What is our nonconference SoS and is it the highest ever?

[cheebs09]

I really see us as one of those teams that starts slow, and clicks in conference season. I think we end up being a dangerous 6 or 7 seed that teams don't want to face. I just feel like we are close to breaking through, just need that first quality win (although you could argue GW).

I think there's a good team there, just taking a little longer to develop than the last few years.

[MuMark]

I doubt our SOS goes up any since wee have Ball State and Samford along with the New Mexico game.

Our buy games were really bad this year.........

The RPI I use has MU now at 90....those guys in Madison at 3

Agree, our expected Out of Conference SOS when all is said and done is 98

I seem to remember our non-conference SoS in recent years being much worse than 98.  Am I wrong?

Here you go...2013 non-con SOS was taken prior to the IUPUI game

2011:    .5022         198        .5684   64         9-3

Of course, losing the Ohio State game to condensation last year affected our SoS.

Dropped to 97, just ahead of DePaul and New Orleans

Saturday is gigantic to put it mildly.

Wait, really? You must be referring to SOS, right? No way Pomeroy drops us from 38 to 97 after a pasting. I would look myself, but don't have the subscription.

You're right, that is RPI. Pomeroy has us up to 35. A team like Ball State is going to be a RPI drag no matter how bad you beat them.
