[> MAAC has 2nd best SOS in Division I -- JoeStag, 08:35:00am 12/21/05 Wed, [1]

Here is the ranking of all the leagues. MAAC at 13, but the RPI is a lot closer to #10 Atlantic-10, than it is to the leagues below them. The amazing thing is that the MAAC has the 2nd toughest SOS in Division I...... being only 4 games below .500 with that schedule is what's doing it.
Most Major conferences play a very weak OOC (and mostly home games), and their teams go something like 8-2 in OOC and only have to play .500 in the league to get an at large bid..... what a like of a High Major.

I just don't get how the Colonial Athletic Conference is rated that high. Their highest profile wins were ODU over a terrible Depaul team, Hofstra over any mid-major can beat us St. John's and UNC-Wilmington over Big Ten bottom-dweller Northwestern. And the top team in the CAA, Northeastern, just got pummeled by Providence yesterday. I hope the MAAC manages to pass the CAA. That way the MAAC would solidify its place as the premiere Mid-Major conference on the East Coast.

If I understand the computer formula, as the season moves into conference play, then High Majors will tend to rise in the ratings, meaning that our strong SOS will beneifit us, and hurt the Colonial's weaker OOC. In addition I think the Colonial has 8+ teams in the Bracket Buster, and I would not be surprised if we see many MAAV vs Colonial matchups in BB. So there is still opportunity to pass them. But we have to do our job and beat Cal State and BB.

BTW, Northeastern lost to Providence by 22, but beat Cal State Northridge by 21, so we might have a decent shot of beating Cal State who is ranked 132, is 5-3 and they beat USC at USC..
