KenPom: #112
Massey Composite: #121
Sagarin: #133
Live-RPI: #172

Remaining schedule, with Massey Composite/KenPom/Sagarin ratings in parenthesis. Worth noting that Rice's opening stretch looked much tougher a few weeks ago. MTSU has lost 2-straight; Charlotte has lost 3-straight and 5 of last 8. UAB has alternated wins and losses all season.
@ ODU (96/94/99) (ODU has not scored 70+ points in a game all year)

v UAB (151/143/145)
v UNT (255/271/262)

@ Marsh (134/129/136)
@ WKU (229/226/222)

So using Massey alone, do my eyes deceive me? Are we looking at a team ranked 3rd in conference?
