ULL and LaTech are both two that I think will be there by year's end. Xavier is top 50 now, but I don't think that lasts.

Rice is down. FAU has a solid club and has gotten off to a solid start but their RPI isn't great currently because of a weak OOC. Charlotte has looked good early and is top 50 right now, but that's the only team we don't play in conference play, which is a tough break. As for midweek games, Tulane looks terrible and USA isn't nearly as good as what some thought they'd be. Out of the SEC, State is probably a bubble team. We already played Bama, who will struggle to break .500. You do have Ole Miss twice though, which is a top 15-25 team.

I have that concern, as well. Xavier's RPI will tumble as they move into conference play even if they play well.

We will see. The conference surprised me last year but more teams did well outside of conference last year, so we all bumped up one another's RPIs. ODU could very well be Top 50.
