Did you mean because the link isn't working???

Got it to work. I have no problem with the rankings at all, however, I think you put way to much stock in O-PPP and D-PPP. Teams score against KSU, but they are top 20 in the nation in turnovers forced and steals. Sometimes, if you are ranking teams, you just have to go by the "eye" test. IMHO I don't think UB is as good as OU or KSU and I think the 2nd go around in the East will prove that. While anyone could step up on a particular night, the West teams are just inferior. Sad, but true.

You realize turnovers are included in points per possession, right?

That would seem pretty logical since if a team turns it over they didn't score on that possession.

That's the thing. Even factoring in turnovers, Kent is still giving up a lot of points.

I really hope Toledo can rain on JSF's parade!

And OU LOSES @ Toledo!!!

OU committed 27 fouls tonight and got pounded on the glass. They also allowed Pearson (a guard) to have 16 rebounds. This is going to be typical OU. They aren't going in as the 9 seed, but they are too highly thought of, and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up 4th or 5th.

Can't wait to see next week and the Power Rankings. LOL.

MAC East finished 30-6 for the season against MAC West.

Let me take a stab minus the excellent insight.

1- Akron
2- Buffalo
3- Kent State
4- Bowling Green
5- Eastern Michigan
6- Ohio
7- Miami
8- Toledo (highest in years?)
9- Western Michigan
10- Ball State
11- NIU
12- Central Michigan

Personally, I think he will do something like this. Doesn't matter that EMU beat OU last night and made them look stupid. EMU is not as good a team as OU and a game in Athens or Cleveland would prove that.

1. Akron
2. UB
3. KSU
4. BG
5. OU
6. EMU
7. Toledo
8. Miami
9. WMU
10. BSU
11. NIU
12. CMU

Yeah, I didn't have the time earlier in the week to post them around. Sorry. There's been a lot going on lately. I did link to it on Twitter.
