RE: RPI Forecast
If you look at the top 5, all one game apart, I would be surprised if we lose 5 more conference games. More importantly, our road to first place seems to be the easiest.
Based on easiest to toughest schedules left against the top 5, here's what we have.
UNCW - 4 games left against top 5. JMU, NU W&M HOME - JMU ROAD
Hofstra - 5 games left against top 5. W&M, JMU, NU HOME - JMU, W&M ROAD
NU - 6 games left against top 5 - UNCW, W&M, Hofstra HOME - JMU, Hofstra, W&M ROAD
JMU - 6 games against top 5- W&M, Hofstra, UNCW HOME - NU, Hofstra UNCW ROAD
W&M - 6 games against top 5 - Hofstra, NU HOME - UNCW, JMU, Hofstra, NU ROAD
There may be a team that goes on a run, and proves they are the best in the CAA, and one or two in the top 5 may fall apart. Right now, I would say that UNCW is in the best position and W&M in the worst.
W&M will play four of their next six games against the top 5, but get Hofstra and NE at home. They won't face Hofstra and NU away until the weekend of Feb 18th.
UNCW only faces a top 5 team 2 times in their next 7 games, with W&M at home, and JMU on the road.
