Fans across the country have said the conf. was weak for years. They said play somebody...Beat somebody...Show you are good and all will take care of itself.
Well?
The conf. plays all comers, beats all comers, has the third best RPI in the country and has "ONE" team in the top 25?
Steve, I see 2 MW teams in the top 25 AP and Coaches Polls: New Mexico and San Diego State. Granted, you have to wonder why UNLV is not in there as well.
The RPI actually has 3 MW teams listed: New Mexico #6, UNLV #16 and CSU #23, with SDSU listed further down at #29. My own team has fallen so far in the past three games I hardly even pay attention right now to the top 25.

Yes on 2 in the Top 25, but I think that one came out today? New Mexico was the only team in the Top 25 last week.
Now for a bigger question along the same lines. If the MWC has that high of RPI and only has two teams in the Top 25...Should they be ranked much higher than (approx) #22 and #25?
Just things that make you go hmmmm.
