Few comps here:
MAC average 199
SBC average 197 (didn't add in new programs that are towards the bottom in CUSA, may get to it later)
AAC 125 (drops to 159 removing UH, Cincy and UCF). If I have time later, I'll in the new programs to see what the average is.
MWC 122

Wow, these are quite surprising. My initial thoughts...

Looks like they have rewarded FIU and Middle justly for their hot starts, Pomeroy is still behind on that.

I think this has Marshall and ODU really low, in fact I expected Marshall to sit in about the 120th range, not near the 200s.

The new American is a football conference...

Firmly in the abolish the NET camp. Provenly flawed ranking system that the NCAA continues to use to prop up the P5.

It's just predicting the future of what Marshall and ODU basketball will be like in the Sunbelt.

If Southern Miss and UTSA can't get out of the 300's, conference play is gonna hurt. Got about 2 weeks to get that rating closer to the 100's.

Agree 100% Just can't wait how they will devalue early wins and reward late season wins, meet in a closed room somewhere and give 17-12 P-5 a 10 seed. Then declare it's the strongest tourney ever and how great the selection process was.

Don't hold your breath on us....It's got a 99% chance of getting worse than getting better.

Heard that Tech has lost starting forward Isaiah Crawford for the season. Not good...

Tech has a good team with post season and championship potential in the preseason or mid season, and injuries will derail it if the athletic council (group of professors who over punish athletes to get back at their bullies from decades gone by) doesn't get to them first. Tale as old as time.

Thanks for the work Topper. Good info that I enjoyed reading. And I'm optimistic about our future home and am happy to be coming aboard!

Glad to see we are pulling our weight.

Sorry, its Donnie Tyndalls fault, Im told.

You have some talent on you team. Just haven't been able to put it together yet, I guess. I've only seen one game Southern Miss. has played and that was Southern Illi. I came away impressed by Southern Illi.
Still a lot of the season left, haven't even started conference play.
What's the fanbase expectation for the team this year? Middle of the road CUSA team or upper level CUSA team this year?

We would say the NET rankings got it right. Likely a new HC next year.

As broke as we are i feel like we will be stuck with him one more year as this is year 3 of his 4 year contract. Surely our AD didn't extend his contract a year after his back to back 6 D1 wins the past 2 seasons.

As a conference we have done well in OOC play so far. Only one team has a losing record (USM) and thats only by one.

If there was a year to get a multi bid-this is the one.

How funny would it be if CUSA finally gets 2 teams in that are leaving, then they make a decent run in March and then has to leave the tourney credits behind for the remaining members.
