Campbell is deadlocked with Chowan. Down 7 with:45 left tied it up.... Probably will win but barely.

My power rankings;

1-CSU toughest schedule
2-CCU next toughest schedule
3-Radford, playing well despite weak schedule. 2 road wins
4-Winthrop, only good win was home vs Upstate but did win at ETSU
5-HP, shooting awful, losing Chaney give them some time to adjust
6-LU, good on neutral floor no D 1 home wins.
7- VMI, great home wins, lost a road games to solid teams by a lot.
8- Gardner Webb, good wins, bad losses
9- UNCA, banged up tough schedule. Upstate game will be huge win.
10- PC - great win over UNCG
11- Longwood, they have Carey who can score 40 any game
12- Campbell, lucky wins, bad loss to Chowan. Trending backwards.

Paging Chris Lang.. I see talk all the time about improving the conference RPI.. the argument always seems to rest on not playing non-D1's.. the argument is tired and illogical.

Take today as the best example of why that logic is severely flawed.. UNC-Asheville entered todays game at an RPI of 168, they beat Presby (a terrible D-1 team) by 14 points and controlled the game from the opening tip, it was never a real contest.. UNC-Asheville's RPI at the end of the day using the same site (Warren Nolan) dropped almost 30 points to 193.. so tell me again how playing a non-D1 hurts your RPI? Going 3-11 or whatever against the MEAC is what kills you.. losing to bad A-Sun, SoCon or whatever teams hurts your RPI.. In other words, losing to these D-1 teams hurts you badly but like today showed even when you win- your RPI suffers..

Look no further than the Mountain West Conference which has seen significant RPI increases since they allowed up to 4 non-D1 games each year- the bottom line is that even when you beat a bad D1 program, you still drop.. I won't even get into the fact that RPI doesn't really matter at the Big South level..

Please- now can we all stop worrying about conference RPI now.. It's not like it's really matters for this league.

Great post Kingaling --- if you poll every Big South Head Coach they would agree with you. I also know for a fact that former GW head coach Holtmann took your same post/data and showed KK why BS teams should be allowed to play non D 1 schools.

I'm going to address it in the next power rankings post ... My last one was completely off base. Not afraid to admit when I'm wrong. Talked to some folks who handle scheduling and they made some very good points about it.

It would be great to get some consistency going forward. Smith and Coronado have forced coach to give them more playing time. I'm hoping for a win tomorrow and setting a new tone for the team for the remainder of the season. No letdowns please!
