Granted FIU-FAU have already played but here are the Saturday games with RPIs as of Friday afternoon from warrennolan.com

ACC 80.41 (they are the last place P5 conference)
CUSA 70.39
MWC 65.64
AAC 64.28
MAC 59.01
SBelt 56.93

USM (104) at MT (77)
Marshall (15) at ODU (85)
North Texas (108) at Indiana (66)
UTSA (83) host New Mexico (111)
Rice (80) host Hawaii (118)
UAB (94) at WKU (57)
UTEP (72) at La Tech (52)

FIU (78) won at home FAU (95) Thursday night

All OOC wins are big but the North Texas at Indiana game would help huge just as home losses by Rice and/or UTSA would hurt huge with the big gaps between each team's RPI of those teams. Best of luck to North Texas, Rice and UTSA as CUSA tries to hold on to the top G5 spot.

Hope UNT wins so we don't go 0'fer against the P5 conferences this year.

That's not RPI

We (CUSA) still have ODU at Vandy as well as UAB at Arkansas in a few more weeks. I like ODU chances most, then North Texas, and lastly UAB. Hope I'm wrong though and all 3 win

Not sure where he pulled his rankings but I do not see anything trolling or delusional about his post. I am sure there is some sort of ranking measure that would put CUSA ahead of the AAC as there are tons of them out there with many different metrics to calculate the power of a league. Just goes to show how one tends to believe the ranking that puts their interests ahead of the others.

RPI is ok to quote but Sagarin brings a lot of bias to keep P5's at or near the top.

No doubt, they all have their flaws for sure. Look around long enough and you can find one that says what you want it to say. CUSA is strong this year and has performed well in the OOC games, much better than the last few years.

Non scholarship Harvard finished 37th in 2004. Sagarin is a moron.
