Ok I don't get it .... or maybe I do?
- Thread starter I-M-UR
- Start date
I don't know where those number come from either. But may I suggest looking here.

That may be close to what the committee sees. Although large swings are still very possible...
And here is where to gauge our at-large chances.

Interesting stuff - definitely more complicated that it seems like it should be. Is the predicted record something that changes throughout the season? Sure looks that way to me.

Nine of our 12 games have been against the worst quarter of teams and we still have a losing record. Unbelievable.
It’s perfectly believable. It’s also horrible.

Yea, but Ulla and VT4700 say everything is fine. Also, Mooney says the junior class next year is the best class in school history. Rest easy Spider fans.
Like Enron-type dividends?
I think we all agree that we stink and VA Tech is the only team that might play a worse OOC schedule than ours. Why was there an article about how strange it was for us to play South Alabama, when there was no article calling out Tech for scheduling 1-win Maryland Eastern Shore? At least in football they usually schedule 1 decent OOC team before they play a bunch of cupcakes.
Since we are talking about cupcakes too bad Coppin State couldn't keep their lead against Notre Dame today..................but instead fell to 0-15. They "only"lost by 7 which is by far their closest loss of the season. But talk about job security Juan Dixon, head coach, now has a 5 -42 record at Coppin State. Previously he was the women's coach at UDC where his record was 3-25 for a "combined" record of 8-67.
Hampton gave it their best shot, but couldn't quite pull off the upset of mighty St. Peter's.
A lot of bad OOC Schedules according to KenPom...
312 BC
315 ND
318 Va Tech
343 Pitt
351 NCSU
308 ODU
305 UMass
320 GMU
328 Duquesne
336 UR
352 Fordham
The thing is that all those guys at the top get to play each other. And all those guys at the bottom... get to play each other.
team rankings; apparently and inadvertently I went to strength of schedule instead of predictive ranking. the numbers should have been Ball St. 74, Pur 18, Penn St 62 and Northeastern 100. I apologize. My point is still the same; a CAA team with a 500 record can be in a position of at least hope for a post season bid. Weak out of conference scheduling and poor performance leaves us where we are.
Yep. If you're going to schedule this badly, you better win most of your games, like even Fordham and Duquesne did with similarly atrocious schedules. We've even fallen behind the two perennial dregs of the league.
And that is why I grouped them that way.
3 of the top 6 in the A-10 need to win away games against the top 6, if the A-10 is going to have any chance at 2 or 3 bids.
Only if those wins are top quadrant wins. It is more about where those teams end up ranked nationally according to the committee, and not so much about where they end up in our conference.
I don't see anywhere close to six A-10 teams being in the top quadrant. So I think a lot of top 6 A - 10 wins are not going to mean as much this year.
