Or a one bid. Pretty sure SMU got left home with a 40 something RPI, and some teams with 30 something ones get left out too.

UConn as defending champion and hard SOS will get more looks than SMU with not much name and weak SOS got last year. If UConn gets. Under 50 in RPI they will be in.

Yeah, I can agree with that which is why I edited it. Still 55 would be pushing it.

Temple will end up with a better conf record. The flaw with those projections is that they don't factor in additions...Temple is a much better team now, just like SMU is with their C back.

It also doesn't factor in how younger teams laden with underclassmen will refine themselves and earn results in February that wouldn't in mid-December. There is still a lot at stake in the AAC.

We have not recent history in regards to how certain schools will play on the road at certain others.

It's a fair point to think about, but it's still probably about as good a projection as you'll find. The only games you would have even had a chance to pull off with those additional players is St. Joe's and possibly UNLV.

Most other teams are dealing with some form of injuries as well, transfers, academics what have you. I expect or maybe had a player out when they lost a game I suspect that works itself out some. We just recently returned a senior 12ppg scorer from last year. Maybe he makes a difference in a couple of our games or maybe he doesn't considering the guys playing in his place like Tyson were doing a good job.
