- Continued losing by Loyola and UMES;
- BCS stumbles by Virginia Tech and West Virginia — offset by BCS bowls, of course;
- Surprisingly dominant wins by Charleston Southern and North Florida;
- Neutral-court losses by George Washington and Howard;
- Still more losing by Auburn, Clemson and Hawaii;
- Baylor and Missouri staying undefeated against Northwestern and Northwestern State, respectively;
- Long Beach State and Oklahoma State blowouts of outmatched NAIA foes;
- Good wins over bad teams by Kansas and Texas;
- Good wins over really bad teams by Oklahoma and Texas A&M;
- Continued over-scheduling by Iowa State and a squeaker win by Xavier.

We win our RPI remains the same?
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. - Vince Lombardi
whoa! Look at that RPI for KU...something must be wrong. :)
First to identify a TEWWT (so what if it was unintentional)
Early season RPIs are weird
Just look at Long Beach State. I mean, it’s neat that they won at Pittsburgh and all, but they also lost to Montana and an above-average but not great San Diego St. team.
That being said, if they could win at Allen Fieldhouse tonight, that would just be fantastic.

Winning this game was huge
A split of the next two (WVU, Bama) is now acceptable for a successful non-con schedule in my eyes (barring any crazy-bad Diamond Head excursions)…
Speaking of which, we get SIU then the winner of UTEP/Clemson (all 3 of those schools are borderline bad) to make the Title game, talk about a sweet setup.
Anyone notice how we get KU/Mizzou/Baylor back-to-back-to-back twice, wtf schedule makers!?!
Hey, we had a brutal stretch in football
and came out 50/50. 1/3 will be acceptable, 2/3 will be darn good, and 3/3 will mean that we just might be for real. (talking about the KU/MU/BU stretch)

Both?
Bobby Hill: What's a meat examination team?
Hank Hill: It's like a debate team, only instead of doing something useless you get to grade the cut and quality of meat!
Very strange season so far.
Too much parity for my taste.
So, is West Virginia any good?

BOYCOTT ESPN!
4-2 with losses to Kent State and Mississippi State (that one on the road).
You know what we’ll see at Intrust with a Bob Huggins team vs. a Frank Martin team…it will be heavy in defense, fouls, and effort. I would feel pretty good if our triple post O was more fluid…
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
