    and voila, that's exactly what's going to happen.....so thanks for pointing out my prognostic abilities...

    We all knew that was going to happen. There wasn't any doubt about any of those 3 teams. You made it sound like yes that was going to happen, but shouldn't. By any reasonable criteria, Mizzou and ND are in and Dayton is out. It wouldn't matter whether they played in the MVC, SWAC, or Big 12...that's how it would happen with the resumes of those 3 teams.

      Pomeroy rates Dayton's schedule as #76 and Non-conference #56
      but that doesn't erase that Dayton had nearly a dozen non-con opponents whose RPI's were from about 150 to 340...

      I think most of the Valley teams would kill for a non-conference schedule of #56!

        but here's what a few of the Dayton fans think...they are not happy......

        Gregory was far and away the best candidate for the BU head coaching job during the last coaching search, IMO...it's really unfortunate that he pulled his name out of the running. That would have been a great get for BU.

          Gregory is a good coach, and his forte is said to be his recruiting. But some Dayton fans are tired of waiting for NCAA success.
          This is his 7th season at Dayton, and his teams have faded late in every year. He made the NCAA his first year with all of Oliver Purnell's players, but was beaten in the first round. Then it took 5 more years before he returned to the NCAA in '08-'09. He went 1-1 that year, for an overall NCAA record of 1-2 in his first 6 seasons. They are 20-12 this year, 8-8 in the A-10 for 7th place.
          Will Dayton get in this year? Unlikely. There are a lot of Dayton fans who want a change. Just goes to show fans are fickle.

            If Dayton wants to cut him loose, go right ahead...just send him directly over to the Hilltop, and we'll find a home for him...

              They want him out only one year removed from the NCAA's? Whatever. I know they underachieved a bit this year, but with the strength of the conference I don't see Dayton falling too far anytime soon.

                but isn't this typical of everywhere we look....
                all over the nation fan bases are grumbling and wanting change....they think 35-0 should be an entitlement!
                all but one of the other Valley schools have changed their coaches since JL has been at BU...and even that one is grumbling, as are more half the others.....
                Bruce Weber was already one foot out the door just two years ago at Illinois, and virtually the entire Pac-10 has reloaded on coaching in the past few years and the league is bad...

                If you want to see the case I'd consider the most ridiculous example of whiney, grumbling, and never satisfied fan bases..
                then go look at Michigan or Minnesota...

                only a couple years into a total rebuilding....and still using mostly the players that Molinari and Monson brought in - which weren't considered good enough to retain them --
                Tubby has the team with 21 wins, and within a game of a Big Ten title...

                and yet I have seen and read where people are complaining and moaning and unhappy with him and wondering why he hasn't loaded up yet with 5-Star and blue chippers.
