P6 is 100% a marketing campaign driven by the AAC ... for football.

The major 7 thing has actually be created and driven by the national media. There is a pretty big gap in analytics between 7-8 right now. along with the projected bid difference. That's what is driving that distinction.

HEY! Tulane will be good again....maybe one day...


Tulane actually isn't half bad this year. Top 150ish team.

Now USF and ECU .... woof ... those 2 schools are the only 2 schools in the AAC with a negative KenPom AjdEM and they sit at -9.47 and -10.42 (Drake is -3.35 by comparison). Thankfully WSU only plays them 1 time each this year.

Bradley was in a bad spot where they couldn't get anyone. The tail end of these 2-for-1s are going to hurt, but were needed at the time. EIU and SEMO were necessary medicine.

There is never an excuse for Chicago St, though. And the message should be clear that the non-con has to ramp up, now.

I trust Muller at ISU to schedule appropriately. I also trust Valpo too, I think intent is not matching up with numbers this season.

And for those wondering about conference hierarchy:
There's the Big 6, then the AAC is 7th in a tier of their own.
A-10 and MWC are the next tier, and the MVC is probably in the next one, with us reaching a high-water mark this year only because the A-10 is an unbelievable tire fire. I still think the MWC moves ahead of us in CRPI by March.

Found an interesting up to date chart that lists every conference's rankings according to Kenpom, and averages them. MVC is currently the 8th best conference, with an average kenpom of 134

What I really like to see and this chart shows is that we have no anchors drawing us down that hurts other conferences

I couldn’t read that at all. Is there a link to a better quality picture or am I doing something wrong?

Oh, we've got anchors.
