Lipscomb No. 50
Bradley No. 87

Wow..this program has declined so damn quickly.

Better than 185! Lol

Southern Miss 142.

I’m happy if our revenue sports can crack the top 100 currently.

This is a BS ranking...Our net is at least a top 100 net.



We have fallen so far...How are we ranked behind these nets?

and Abilene Christian is No. 55, so it’s too early on these NET rankings.

What I do know is that our next 3 opponents are by far our weakest, that SMU will win all 3, and that some on this board will interpret that as SMU is ‘turning the corner’.

..and then we play TCU and Georgetown. I will at least watch the GTown game to see Mac Mcclung dunk on us.

And UH is in the TOP 20.

I will only proclaim that we have "turned the corner" if we win the next 4, which would include Tcu and Gtown.

Otherwise, we have nothing to show for our early season.

I am very worried about the # of Purple that may be able to buy up tickets to Moody next week now that tickets are easily available...#ReseatFail

It's nice to have a rating system that starts from scratch without preseason bias.

Obviously the intent is to have an algorithm that works best at the end of the season when things are more critical, rather than the first few weeks.

I'm excited to see how it develops over the course of the season, because it is going to really point out the biases of the AP system. If they ever do something like this for football it will be great.
