When combining the NCAA's NET, Warren Nolan RPI and Ken Pomeroy Efficiency Ratings into one number, here's how the CAA looks as we near the start of conference play:

Composite Rank/ Team/ NET/ RPI/ KenPom Efficiency/ Composite
1. Charleston 79 63 110 84
2. Northeastern 133 104 101 112.7
3. Hofstra 118 159 113 130
4. Delaware 177 144 216 179
5. W&M 190 236 180 202
6. UNCW 206 187 229 207.3
7. JMU 202 226 219 215.7
8. Drexel 266 270 247 261
9. Towson 286 290 290 288.7
10. Elon 312 297 296 301.7

Thank you. Other than Delaware ahead of Hofstra in the RPI, the ratings agree about the top three in some order. Elon just won at Kennesaw State, which moved Elon above Towson in the RPI.

Here are the current NET/RPI/Ken Pomeroy rankings at the halfway point in order of NET rankings.

1. Hofstra- 45/54/62
2. Charleston- 110/81/106
3. Northeastern- 112/95/105
4. Delaware- 204/170/242
5. W&M- 216/233/250
6. Drexel- 228/217/243
7. UNCW- 240/218/268
8. JMU- 244/273/282

Thank you! Combining those into 1 number, we get the following:

1. Hofstra: 53.7
2. Charleston: 99
3. NU: 104
4. Delaware: 205.3
5. Drexel: 229.3
6. W&M: 233
7. UNCW: 242
8. JMU: 266.3

10. Elon: 302


1 really good team, two solid teams, and a bunch of sub-200 teams. Sounds like a 3-horse race to me!

I'm actually stunned by how accurate the "combined" ranking looks to my eye test.

You must have damn good eyes if you see teams as numbers...

As we go into the final weekend here is what things look like.

Composite Rank/ Team/ NET/ RPI/ KenPom Efficiency/ Composite
1. Hofstra 71 62 90 74.3
2. Northeastern 94 76 103 91
3. Charleston 114 80 117 103.7
4. W&M 200 197 218 205

9. UNCW 263 270 274 269
10. Elon 294 288 324 302

Pretty accurate. Still clear top 3. Then a jumbled mess with W&M playing the best down the stretch.
