The Massey Composite currently ranks the teams in this order:

Memphis

UConn
Cincy
UCF
SMU

I'll go out on a limb and predict that East Carolina will be last once again.

Courageous prediction!

Wichita State may well finish ahead of Memphis, if they continue to play as well as they have recently.

Memphis

Houston

ECU has pulled off a rare double double. Last in both major sports.

ESPN BPI is the goofiest ranking ever invented.

Except it didn't happen. I am pretty sure that they didn't finish last in either sport.

I don't count UConn football, lol. They gone. And your BB has the worst record at the moment.

While I predict that also, there’s no once again ECU has never finished last in the AAC.

Totally agree. We're fighting for the bottom.

Agree. The preseason prediction that WSU could finish 1st was, incredibly, dismissed by some WSU fans as trolling.

And the network pushes that crap likes it's the gold standard going out of style.

It's a complete, garbage, TV-invented "metric".

It absolutely was trolling. You just didn't expect the troll job to actually come true.

I think we're underselling Cincinnati. When Cumberland gets his act together, look out. Think Jeremiah Martin from last year. He looked really bad early in the year, and then went on a tear.

That’s the problem with “predictive” rankings, does not take into account the changes that can happen such as injuries, team chemistry, waivers, etc.
