I know it's stupidly early to look at RPI, but I was just curious to see what it looked like right now. Here is CUSA from
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketba...groupId/11

1 (7) UTEP .6990 5-0
2 (26) Middle Tennessee .6415 3-1
3 (78) Louisiana Tech .5703 4-0
4 (102) Florida Intl .5490 2-2
5 (119) Old Dominion .5357 3-3
6 (123) Florida Atlantic .5316 1-3
7 (154) Rice .5120 2-4
8 (193) UAB .4866 3-3
9 (212) Western Kentucky .4725 2-3
10 (266) Charlotte .4319 1-5
11 (303) Marshall .3871 0-3
12 (318) Texas San Antonio .3651 1-5
13 (329) Southern Mississippi .3477 0-3
14 (333) North Texas .3448 0-3

Didn't realize UTEP was undefeated. That's pretty good. Also for reference, UT-Arlington who we are playing later today has an RPI of 18 right now. Would be great to beat them tonight.

UTA has won at both Ohio St and Memphis.

While it's early and some of the numbers are off a bit, that's actually a pretty decent representation of how the conference could go this season (outside of UAB maybe?). It appears to me that UTEP might end up being the class of the league, and there are several bottom dwellers. We'll probably finish in the middle somewhere, depending on how healthy we stay the rest of the year.
