230 is solid for how we've played. Hopefully we can be top 200 by league play.

u beat us ccsu, we went to the tournament 3 times, played unc a couple yrs ago in the 1st round lost by 10.

The conference hasn't had big wins and that's what's hurting the league but on the other hand it has won most if not all that tgey should.

Got blown out by Green Bay, should've beat Hawaii, and UNCA. That was probably the best game we've played all year Sunday.

Hate to say it, but BE is going to kill us this year. Down year for the "top" programs.

We can salvage the year if a couple of Temple, Tulsa, Houston and USF to climb into NIT range, and a couple of Memphis, Cincy and SMU to climb into bubble range.

I know we can't shoot, but we're better than Penn State and Wofford.

We will know wether USF can make a run to the NIT this month

I'd say 230 is generous!

It's a long season and teams get hot... teams get healthy... and teams mature...

On the flip side, teams get cold... teams get injured... and teams have to rely on their backups...

The point being, the season is still young. Conferences will jockey for position.

Houston and SMU will be different teams when their players return... Temple as well.

Let it play out.

The season isn't that young. This is when conferences jockey for position. When january rolls around, it's too late for that since almost all the games are in conference.

Yeah it's not early but looking ahead almost every single team has at least 1 more big ooc game if not more so there is still time to build a reputable ooc resume. A10 is in the same boat and they have actually lost some really bad games on top of the lack of marquee wins so we are okay right now just need to step it up soon. Big East has definitely been the big winner so far but they can only take so many spots.

Not surprised really --- although I do expect SMU to do better as the season progresses. Memphis, maybe.

230? Wow! We are that high?

We'll move up after we win Sunday.

USF could move up if they win.
Our next OCC games are
AT Alabama 4-1 RPI #28
AT Detroit 5-3 #143
Georgia Southern 4-1 #96
Seton Hall 5-0 #22
FSU- in Miami 3-4 #209
SELO 2-5 #302
Bowling Green 4-0 #48

Out of those only the SELO game can be penciled as a win.

.500 would be great. Anything after that, and USF could legibly be a NIT contender.
