  1. you really think ucf and cinci is a huge upgrade basketball wise over uab, charl, and unt? FAU last yrs final 4 team is that much seperated from Houston. You must only look at biased numbers for your thinking. I rely on watching these teams play basketball on the court. If you like to go by rankings so much my judgement is the ELO ranking more closely represent the ranking of basketball teams FAU 17 Houston 3 UAB 65 Cinci 74 Charl 82 UCif 124 UNT 111 Those are very close so again I would argue it wasn't much of a loss other then in the media's eyes on the court its a wash
  2. This NET is sucha a joke that it is so widely used as a determining factor. I would argue the American is a better conf with UAB, UNT FAU and Char. then it would be with UH, Cinci and UCif. Also when was the last time that a conference leader this late in the season would have 4 teams this far ahead of them in the NET. Head to head has to mean more then a computer, the eye test has to mean more then a computer. It will be a travesty if USF doesnt go dancing...unless we lose 4 of our last 6
  3. I couldnot find the week 7 poll, unfortunately they only show the top 25 and not the receiving votes on these old polls. I think I looked at the schedule from that year and we lost 3 in a row after the iowa game, so its doubtfull we got any higher. But my meomory had us really close, much closer then the attachement poll. thought someone would have a little better recolection
  4. Think this years team will be the most wins and least losses in program history
  5. I know this was discussed before what is USF highest ranking. I thought I remember being 21 when it was top just top 20 or was it 26? This was the closest thing I could drum up. Does anyone else know for sure?
  6. Need to get to AAC Finals for a shot at an at large.....just keep winning. Not sure if a tight loss in here before the tourney might be good. I know this team likes a target on their backs but I'm not sure, but I trust CAAR
  7. Dropped 1 to 93 with a victory on the road. The Net is a bad metric ELO much better in my opinion
  8. Might have locked in a double bye, not exactly sure....the eye needs to be on #1 seed
  9. This is hard for me....top 25 ranking helps our case slightly for an at large, but should we sneak in, then a top 25 ranking won't help us sneak up on anybody come NCAAT time
  10. memphis and UNT could both jump back to Quad 1 if things happen correctly
  11. wins can change quadrants its not based on when you play its as of that moment. So we might have some more opportunities
  12. 50's NEt is probably way to aggressive but still think its possible to get into the 60's we have 3-4 quad 1-2 games remaining. And those teams also have the potential to move up in the net which would help our net. Again our best hope is still to win the tourney. At large and we can maybe afford one loss and that would have to be to smu or 49ers
  13. If we keep taking care of business we could have a few more quad 1 wins and a Net in the 50-60 range
  14. what makes you think SMU is the best team in the league? My observation isn't as high since I've seen them struggle with some of the lower teams....Then again Rice has given us fits
  15. 1) South Florida 2) 10 3) Pryor- 21 4) Stroud - 10 5) 83%
  16. That is why the cumputer system is too biased. Memphis is way up on their metrics becasue of some quality wins very early on. Now they are a mess. they wouldn't win any of those games today. FAU beat a very good Arizona team basically on the road. They have taken everyones best shot in the low rated AAC yet are still right there at the top. FAU is a very good team that returned 14 of 15 players and a week ago every pundit was expecting another run at a final 4...and we just beat that team, basically embarrased them for the first 30 min of that game. USF is a very good basketball team as well and would beat most of those MWC on a nuetral site in my opinion. I would put our top 5 up against their top 5 and think results would be very even
  17. Shows how biased these polls are again....Not being a total homer, but the AAC is way undervalued, the MWC is way over valued this year. All because of the names on the front of the Jersey's. The AAC has alot of really good basketball teams that could win a game or 2 in the NCAAT FAU, UAB, Charlotte and us are really good teams SMU is a slight notch below in my mind and Memphis has the talent to be the best of all of us. Rice is actually a really tough team just hasn't put it all together, ECU is decent and Tulane should be better then their record. They are talking 6 teams in the MWC and AQ for AAC makes no sense from anyone who watches alot of College BBall.
  18. Be interesting if Dickie V puts us in the rankings he tweeted during the game and after
