[DocLove]

Haslametrics has gathered enough data from the start of the season and has finally updated for the 2019-2020. Our initial spot in his rankings is in the Top-25, slotting in at #22! We are the highest rated team from the American, ahead of Memphis who is at #27.

If we win out in Cancun, I think we start getting votes in the polls.

Looks like Michigan will make a big move up the polls this week with back-to-back-to back wins over Iowa State 83-76, #6 North Carolina 73-64 and #8 Gonzaga 82-64 at the Battle 4 Atlantis to move to 7-0 on the season.

[Shox The Revenant]

If we sweep, VCU, OSU and OU, the Shox will break into the polls at #22.

Chris Beard overrated? Let's go over what he did.

2016: Took an Arkansas Little-Rock team that was 13-18 and 235th in KenPom to 56th and 30-5, knocking off 5 seed Purdue in OT in the 1st round of the NCAAT.

2017: Beard takes over Texas Tech, Little-Rock falls back to being bad (245th in KP.) Texas Tech goes 18-14 and finished 41st.

2018: Leads TTU to 3 seed and Elite Eight. (27-10, 11th)

2019: Takes them to the NCG, losing in OT to Virginia (31-7, 5th)

Is he overrated now?

Yes.

[Kel Varnsen]

Yes.

How so?

[ShockerFever]

What's the highest a team has gone from unranked to ranked?

Michigan will likely be Top 10, if not Top 5, after their little holiday of fun.

[ShockerFever]

Beard is not overrated. Tech at #12 right now sure is but should be expected after their loss in personnel.

West Virginia currently has the #1 RPI ranking this year, thru 12/01/19.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them start 2020 with a 12-0 record and #1 RPI.

West Virginia is number one in the "back alley" and "behind the lunchroom at recess" teams. They were grown ass men and we were boys.

RPI?

[WuShock Reaper]

RPI?

While officially not used by the NCAA Selection committee, if i recall correctly, RPI had a slightly better success record on who got an "At-Large" bid last year.
