Bradley's RPI jumps ahead of 2 other MVC schools

[BradleyBrave]

With Michigan St, Illinois, Rutgers, and DePaul all winning tonight, BU's RPI went up 12 spots without even playing!

Every time this happens I am going to stew over the Tennessee Tech game....we'd be on the cusp of the top 50 IMO with that win.

Bradley's RPI is now at 130 this morning, up 18 from prior to last night's games (see the top post). In fact, every MVC team went up, except Evansville, which dropped slightly and Wichita, which stayed at #2.

Sagarin is a lot closer IMHO with the MVC at 6, Wichita St at 3, Missouri St at 15, and BU at 67.

In the Sagarin, are all teams "connected" yet?

No, as of 12/6 the teams are POORLY CONNECTED and so the ratings are BAYESIAN.

Ok then - don't tell me the Sagarin is a lot closer then.



Just kidding Mike.

Keep us updated and I would be interested in how the rating is when it is 'connected'.

Cya 12-19 vs Loyola.

Sagarin is now well connected.

MVC is 6th and not that far from 4th and 5th:

BU is 81st:
