2016-2017 SMU Daily Rankings

[smusic 00]

For a longtime, RPI Forecast was predicting a regular season record of 24-7. That's been upgraded to 25-6. Per RPI Forecast, we're now favored to win every game, but by less than a point to Cincy at home and Houston on the road.

How do they determine that? We're favored to win every game but their simulation predicts we'll lose two of them anyway?

If you had a coin that landed heads 70% of the time would you expect it to never land on tails?

Your blowing my mind, dude.

Which according to his formula has us beating Duke at home (PR diff +3.25 for home court)

[Smulaw90]

I pray we get Duke. Nothing would be sweeter, except maybe whooping Carolina or Baylor.

[SMU_Alum11]

I still haven't found a ranking site that has us outside the top 25. Really hope the pollsters actually take a look rather than reschuffling the top 25.
