Ah yes, the smiley face is what makes everything better....

People need to recognize there is a huge difference between playing hard, and playing well... -
The next couple teams in the rankings have been named:
Here's what's been named already:
#143 Mississippi
#142 Jackson State
#141 Sacred Heart
#140 Eastern Kentucky
and now:
#139 UCF (University of Central Florida)
#138 Iowa State University (even though they were 15-16 last season with the 203rd best non-con SOS.
But hopefully they will build a good RPI next season, they play BU in Peoria on Nov. 14.Comment

Well, since we are not in the Top 50 and they are counting down and are under 140.... with teams like Sacred heart and Iowa St... we MUST be 51.

Two more slots named....further destroying these guys' credibility by naming UWGB and High Point!

I just want to point out couple things about some of the teams mentioned....
Sacred Heart - Northeast Conf - ranked 29th in RPI last year - the highest ranked RPI team in that conferece was rated 147.
Jackson St - SWAC - 32 - 168
E Kentucky - OVC - 26 - 117
High Point - Big South - 28 - 70 (Winthrop)
Marist - Metro Atlantic - 25 - 104
So far these predicted conferences winners are sprinkled in with 'tuff' bottom-dwellers of BCS conferences (and I am guessing UCF as their predicted 2nd or 3rd place finish in C-USA). With about 74 more BCS teams and about 20 more conf champs to be rated, that leaves 40 slots. I think we should make the list.

Sit down Mac...you are in for a HUGE shock....Originally posted by MacabreMob
You were guessing maybe they had UCF as 2nd or 3rd best in Conference USA, so that maybe only one or at most two more CUSA teams would be in the final 136 teams...
Guess again....just look at the text of the report they give on UCF...
They have UCF pegged as the 6th best team in CUSA
That's right.they have FIVE more teams just from the CUSA in the top 136.
#144 Ole Miss is the 12th best team in the SEC, so they have 11 more SEC teams above them (one of them has already been named at #134, South Carolina.)
#138 Iowa State is pegged to be the 11th best team in the Big XII, so they have 10 more Big XII teams.
And based on their others so far, the have 3 more Horizon teams, and haven't even begun to name Big East, ACC, Big Ten, Pac 10 and other top teams/conferences.
It'll be interesting......I will bet they only have 3 or 4 MVC teams in the Top 144. They may even have Bradley at 150 or above!Comment

Well, I am not shocked about them ranking (almost) EVERY BCS school in the top 150. But if UCF is 6th by them along with 3 Horizon teams... and we haven't even brought up the Atlantic 10, Mountain West, and WAC.... yea, maybe BU is out.Originally posted by tornadoSit down Mac...you are in for a HUGE shock....Originally posted by MacabreMob

And IMO, no... you never run out of chips so long as you continue to get rewarded by your results.Comment

Here's what's been named already:
#144 Oakland University
#143 Mississippi
#142 Jackson State
#141 Sacred Heart
#140 Eastern Kentucky
#139 UCF (University of Central Florida)
#138 Iowa State University
#137 High Point
#136 University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
#135 Marist
#134 South Carolina
#133 Louisiana Monroe
#132 Charleston
Here are the current new picks:
#131 St. Johns
They pick St. Johns as 14th in the Big East, so look for 13 more Big East teams in the next 129 slots.
#130 Utah
They pick Utah 6th in the Mountain West, so there are 5 more MWC teams.
Here are the teams we KNOW beyond question will be in the next 124 selections because of the statements already made...
1 more Summit Conference team
10 more SEC teams
1 more Ohio Valley team
5 more CUSA teams
10 more Big XII teams
1 more Big South team
3 more Horizon teams
2 more Metro Atlantic teams
2 more Sun Belt teams
2 more Southern Conference teams
13 Big East teams
5 Mountain West teams
1 more Patriot team
3 MAC teams
8 more Big Ten teams
1 more Big West
7 more MVC teams
This accounts for 68 of the remaining teams, so the ACC, the MVC,
the Pac-10, WAC and all other conferences account for the remaining 67 teams.
I am predicting 5 or 6 MVC teams among the yet-to-be-revealed top 129 teams.Comment
