Call it what you want, yep. If the season ends today we are the 4 seed in the MVC tournament. And that actually deals not with the tiebreaker points but with the mini round robin format. Bradley holds a 1-2 record against CU and ISU. CU is 1-1 and Illinois State is 2-1, which puts us third in the pecking order.
The RPI is "meaningless" until the end of the season too, but people look at it as a tool of evaluation throughout the year. The same can be said now that we've played more than half of the conference games. Not an evaluation of anything other than the facts of where we sit at 11:30 a.m. on 2/3. Anything can happen in the last month, that's not the point.
If it makes you feel better, we are currently the conference co-runner-up with ISU and Creighton. Woo hoo! :biggrin:
And no matter what the tiebreaker system shows if it used in the middle of a season, Bradley is not in 4th place right now. That is all I am saying. They are tied for 2nd.
