AP Top 25 Poll (Nov. 18th)

[FU Hoopla]

More results:
Wake by 13 over WCU
Belmont by 10 over Oral Roberts Belmont how 4-1
Tulane by 15 over Bethune Cookman
Michigan St. by 8 over Samford
LSU by 9 over Charleston Southern

Was surprised to see Charleston Southern (who we play Saturday) stay close with LSU as they we coming off a lose to VMI...

Hopefully one of the lessons learned from last year is dont take any team for granted aka Anderson Fiasco

[FU Hoopla]

5-0

[FU Hoopla]

Kansas is guaranteed to be ranked #1 when we play there Saturday Nov. 30th as they only have one game between now and then (next Tuesday vs. Duke) and that will be after the polls for the week are released on Monday...

here's the crazy part...

with wins over Belmont, Jax, Tulane and no losses, Dins NET is 141
with wins over Delaware St, USC upstate, Winthrop, and losses to Jax and Penn St, Va Techs NET is 60

If it were even 30 off would be ok but 80 off?

CU with no name wins and a loss to Boise St is at 35,

The Ratings Power Index (RPI) was made up of three components:

A team's winning percentage
Average opponent's winning percentage
Average opponent's opponent's winning percentage
The NET includes more components than just winning percentage. It takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.

Yeah pretty ridiculous regarding that VA Tech rating.....
Give it 3 more weeks and it will hopefully be a little better....

Now do Samford...

They somehow jumped ahead of us this week...

[PaladinPower]

NET rankings do not come out until later in the season. Those are last year's end of season rankings.

[MidlandsPaladin]

Thanks. I was referring to KenPom that shows Samford leapfrogging us since the weekend games.

Pretty sure the first NET rankings come out the first week of December.

Espn on their schedule shows that the Kansas game is scheduled for noon which means 11AM Kansas time. Both FU and KU websites show it as TBA.
