Not going to out him, but I'm pretty sure Howlomaha is well connected to the program and gets a more honest assessment of things then you do as a donor. And that is not meant as a dig at you. You are a knowledgeable supporter!!

I think Rice's team is being assessed fairly by the pundits. Every team has freshman and JuCo players that join the program. There might be a bit of an information gap with the Baylor player, but even you said he will likely be a role player. Hardly a reason to vault a team in the rankings.
