Looks like we're now 34 Sagarin, leapfrogging Houston (35) for second in the AAC. (Cincinnati is now 15). We'd probably be in the 30-31 range had Michigan (26) not dropped out of the Sagarin top 25.

Nice continued upward trend. We are in the top 30 in almost all of these, also including the ESPN RPI! Temple game is going to be huge, especially with them starting out 0-2 and basically getting blown out (at least in the first half, they played much better in the second half) against UCF.

What is espn rpi and why are you excited about it relative to regular rpi?

ESPN hasn't even started their BPI for this season yet.

I've seen them state numbers from their BPI metrics but they just don't have their "new" UI for it. I think they have been tracking it internally. The new UI is suppose to be release early 2017. I assume in the next few weeks.

Just another metric.

Do you mean espn BPI? RPI is a fairly straightforward mathematical formula and is the same no matter who is publishing it.

If we thump Temple tomorrow and USF this weekend at home do we get any top 25 love.....or does this only happen after we beat Cinci on the road?
