Scroll down that list a little and look at the top 50.

Looks like these rankings are worth just about as much as the RPI at this time of year.

This could and undoubtedly will change as soon as next week, but it's hard to see where this isn't pretty accurate AS OF NOW. We'll see where it all winds up, but this hardly strikes me as too early and worthless. Actually looks just about right--again, as of now.

So, in your opinion, Loyola Marymount is 10th in the nation "as of now"? GTFO.

You just like it because Bradley looks good.

And you dont like it because it's not just s few people on our board that can see through ISU and see how bad they are. Stop blindly sticking up for this piss poor team just because they're your favorite. They're God awful.

Just look at the top 50 teams. Dont worry about the MVC. This metric was released WAY too early. Has nothing to do with Birds or Braves.

They're up there because they're 0/1 loss teams. Until they lose they should be up there

I have no opinion at all about Loyola Marymount, FFS. As to the Valley rankings, sorry the NCAA kicked your puppy, but ISUr has been underwhelming, to say the least. If you bother to read anything else I say on this board, you'll note that I see ISUr as wildly talented and dangerous. To date, however, you suck. I'll bet you play better against BU than you've played against non-con opponents, which is a shame, because it brings the league down. As for BU, that UIC loss was atrocious. At least BU fans admit it.

While the birds don't have a bad losses they do still suck.

I have no idea why they released this today. Should've been mid-December, probably later. It takes time for the data to converge and connect all of D1 together.

The bigger issue is the convenient fact they're not releasing the actual formulas.
