All this talk about the RPI - even though it is WAY TOO EARLY - has got me started on the BracketBuster thread for 2010. 
Teams are ranked by their RPI after games played through Friday 12/4. I will update this weekly or so and more often in late January.
TV Matchups will be announced on Feb 1st (networks and time slots on Feb 8th).
Here is the MVC press release from earlier this year:
Here is a PDF press release showing the teams and their conferences:
One thing I noticed... there are 3 teams ALREADY scheduled to play on Friday Feb 19th. Maybe their arenas were unavaliable on Saturday the 20th... or maybe they were hoping to get a leg up on a Friday TV slot. The three are UNI, SIU and South Carolina St. I have my doubts as to whether SIU will get a TV game, but it is way too early to tell. But what's funny is... South Carolina St is a ROAD team and UNI and SIU are a home team. Maybe SIU will get South Carolina St just because they are available and it won't be televised. LOL!
Anyway - here's the list. Remember - we can't play someone we already played this season and we can't play someone in our conference (had to say that for Squirrel
).
