No, I think what it comes down to is the entire conference, including ODU, has been pretty weak over the years. We put teams like UTSA on a pedestal because they win games in conference and beat us on occasion, but in reality, they are just an overall weak team that live and die by 2 players that play little defense but that can win games if they are hot enough to trade 3's for 2s and end up with a higher score. Whether you use RPI, Kenpom, NET, or whatever, they probably give a decent representation of where everyone stands at the end of the year.

No one put a couple posters on the here and the UTSA fans put UTSA on a pedestal.

Point is CUSA sucks out of conference and sucks in conference. Only difference is not that the teams got good all of the sudden when playing each other... difference is someone has to win.
