RE: Basketball power rankings
What is this basketball that you speak of?
It seems like I have some fond memories of it, but have blocked it out of my mind for some reason.

RE: Basketball power rankings
1. La Tech- road win at Ohio St. and solid win against UT Arlington
2. UTEP- neutral site wins against So. Illinois and CSU, #4 according to CBS.com RPI
3. MTSU- Won the Great Alaska Shootout with win over Toledo
4. UAB- Close road loss to Auburn, beat the other teams they were expected to beat
5. ODU- Have struggled after losing Stith to injury
6. FIU- Lost to Oral Roberts in OT and a tougher schedule so far
7. WKU- bad loss to Drake and a softer schedule than FIU so far
sounds about right to me and I believe you could flip a coin on the top 3 as of 11-30 and 4-7 not one team has shown anything at this point...at this point we really don't know if a close loss is still a bad loss...or a good one.
at this point I would not move Western above #7

Its such a tough thing to rank at this point with several of these teams playing no one or in some cases 1 decent team. I think this week will tell more. LT vs. Memphis, MT vs. VCU, UAB has a couple big games, etc.
At this point, I would go UAB, ODU, MTSU, LT, UTEP, Western Kentucky
We've under-performed by our standards. However, a 1 point loss at Auburn and neutral site losses to decent Va Tech and Illinois teams isn't terrible. We're frustrated because we feel like we should be 5-1. We don't have another opportunity to beat a P5 for the rest of OOC. If we can finish out OOC 7-0 it'll put us at 10-3 with wins over Illinois St (road), Stephen F Austin, and Georgia St. Not great but not terrible.
I don't want to start an argument but MTSU winning the GAS is not that impressive. Wins against a D2 team, UNCA, and Toledo is noting to write home about. However, they are winning. That's more than what we can say we've done. I'd say at this point UTEP's win over CSU is the best win of the conference. La Tech's win over OSU would be 2nd and their win over UT-Arlington 3rd.
My current Top 4
UTEP

Winning the GAS is pretty impressive when you leave starting PG at home and one of your best players is playing on one leg(Perrin Buford) and he still makes the all tourney team.
Knock the accomplishment if you want, Toledo has a team good enough to compete for the MAC title and UNC-Ashville could beat several teams in this conference.
Rank the teams however you choose, it means nothing at this point.

I will say it's a good start given they didn't play a single home game in November.

Some of those losses can do major damage.... to all.
Yep, the middle to bottom is dragging down the league faster than the top can help keep us afloat.
That isn't to call out any particular schools, but its clear the bottom is of the league is weighing heavily on our ability to form a mult-bid conference. Would like to know if the new commish is planning to address this or there are even any ideas out there to help get us all pulling the rope in the same direction?
Probably nothing beyond scheduling. Basketball at this level is cyclical. Schools will be down for a while and then cycle to the top and vice versa. That's just the way it is. If there is a prolonged period of being down, that's for the school to address (coaching change, etc.). UAB was down a few years ago and then won the tournament last year. Charlotte is down, now, after clearing house and everyone leaving, but looks to bounce back over the next year or two. Not much the conference can do to address the cyclical nature of basketball at this level. Only a select few programs can expect to reload and stay on top every year. The hope is that your down cycles aren't so low and are further apart.
How does the A10 and Missouri Valley avoid letting the cycle drag them down then?
When we were there, the A10 tried to get schools to schedule up, go on the road, get home and homes with quality opponent out of the big conferences (Belmont etc) , get home and homes with lower end big conference schools (Auburn) and win.
It took two to three years for it to work, but playing true road games in November made conference games tough in February. It made SOS RPI's go up throughout the conference and eventually the conference started winning some of these games which made improved RPI's. When you have 14 schools doing, this, you see results quickly.
Working against CUSA will be the fact that basketball in the A10 is the glory sport for most of these schools. They all have 100 years of history and old rich alums.

Other than the fact they were teams from the SEC, B10, and ACC. You can't argue that the level of competition we've faced is well above what MTSU has faced. All I was saying is MTSU has done nothing to prove they belong in the top 4 best teams in the conference.
You guys are putting out the same players we beat 3 times last year so I suppose it'll all settle itself out in the spring.

Lol, please don't start the scheduling garbage again. We may have lost, but we should have won 2 of 3. Wasn't because of our talent. Illinois was down 2 players earlier this year before our game (you know that Nunn guy who scored nearly 20 points a game against UAB and Iowa State?) and Chattanooga would be a top 2 team in this league.
Regardless, as of right now UAB is maybe the 5th or 6th best team in this league based on current games.

loss to a decent team, Ill not awful so on..
There's nothing at this point to show any team UAB loss is anything at this point. Good or bad. The one thing we do know..UAB loss to those schools
Other than the fact they were teams from the SEC, B10, and ACC. You can't argue that the level of competition we've faced is well above what MTSU has faced. All I was saying is MTSU has done nothing to prove they belong in the top 4 best teams in the conference.
You guys are putting out the same players we beat 3 times last year so I suppose it'll all settle itself out in the spring.
Again I will point out the obvious to you...
muts won
uab loss
anyone team can do what uab did.....LOSE
so let me repeat something I said often...SCHEDULE TO YOUR TALENT. If you play a ACC, BIG10 and SEC school and lose all 3....
muts went out and won their games..uab didn't end of story. No buts..end of the story
The below schools beat Ill
North Florida
Chattanooga
Chicago State...played Ill to a 3 point game ...lot closer than UAB
Alabama State beat V. Tech
Lol, please don't start the scheduling garbage again. We may have lost, but we should have won 2 of 3. Wasn't because of our talent. Illinois was down 2 players earlier this year before our game (you know that Nunn guy who scored nearly 20 points a game against UAB and Iowa State?) and Chattanooga would be a top 2 team in this league.
Regardless, as of right now UAB is maybe the 5th or 6th best team in this league based on current games.
My point that I didn't make very well because I went off on something else..
don't put a team down that won (positive )and try to bump your team up on losses (negative) like the UAB was doing.
It's week 2 or 3 hell I forget...lot of basketball to be played and to move up the power ranking. 2 or 3 weeks from now UAB could be undefeated in that period and one of the top teams lose a few....
But always argue a point from a positive..it's petty putting a team down that did nothing but win.

A pile of crap
The rest of the league
Rice's injuries are such a letdown.
Conference is running out of chances for big wins.
