RE: CBS Sports Ranks Every College Basketball Team
It's hard to take anything that purports to rank 351 teams in order seriously. How do you draw a distinction between, say, the 119th team and the 232nd? Give the guy an A for effort, though it was obvious he was out of things to say about teams ranked below 100, but that's just too ambitious.

North Texas won't fare well with a starting lineup of Roy Orbison, Don Henley, Norah Jones, Meat Loaf and Pat Boone.

BS. You never lose with Norah.

Norah has a beautiful voice and I like her but she’s third string waterboy compared to the first 2 in that lineup.

Have you been drinking again?

RE: CBS Sports Ranks Every College Basketball Team
Pre-season ranking shouldn't exist in any sport.........they should wait until a few games are played. It puts too many good programs in a struggle to gain anything, even the power schools. This from CBS is crap, I wouldn't give it another look.

RE: CBS Sports Ranks Every College Basketball Team
Yeah put me in the same category as most. We're rated too low. I realize we lost a lot of transfers but I don't think people realize the guys we return are decent but just didn't get the playing time they would have received at other schools. Add in a solid recruiting class and two graduate transfers and I think we'll surprise most and challenge for a middle of the pack conference finish.

Yes. Dead Roy Orbison > Norah Jones. Even dead. To shreds.

RE: CBS Sports Ranks Every College Basketball Team
Bumped Thread

Now that basketball season if fully over with and the emotions of the season have died down for most I thought this might be an interesting topic to look at.

Here are the season Rankings from CBS Sports as of 10-25-2017:
65. MTSU
101. UAB
114. Louisiana Tech
138. UTEP
152. WKU
191. ODU
216. Charlotte
238. Marshall
252. UTSA
264. Southern Miss
303. RICE
309. North Texas
313. FAU
330. FIU

Outside of Middle there wasn't any respect given at all. My guess is CBS Sports flung some crap on the wall and seen if it would stick.

Here is the CUSA Standings without the records when the final regular season was over:

MTSU
ODU
WKU
Marshall
UTSA
UAB
North Texas
FIU
Southern Miss
LA Tech
FAU
UTEP
Rice
Charlotte

Numbers 65, 152, 191 and 238 or MTSU, WKU, ODU and Marshall all finished with top 80 RPIs. The bottom of the bottom this year was not good. With Rice it was almost expected losing not only their HC but 8 scholarship players.

I believe that the top of CUSA can compete with anyone in the nation. That was shown in the NCAA, NIT and even CIT.

Also the part about Wichita State I brought up was almost crazy scary. I didn't think they were a top 5 team at the begining of the year and at years end Marshall takes them down in the NCAAs.

Yeah, the thing that struck me while looking at this was how many of that projected top 100 that CUSA beat this year.

#5 Wichita St. lost to Marshall.

#8 USC lost to WKU

#24 Purdue lost to WKU

#37 Missouri lost to MTSU

#46 Vanderbilt lost to MTSU

#80 Vermont destroyed by MTSU

#88 Ole Miss destroyed by MTSU

#94 Oklahoma State lost to WKU

#98 San Francisco lost to UNT

Pardon me if I left any out.

RE: CBS Sports Ranks Every College Basketball Team
We are always going to be underrated until we develop consistency. WKU has to keep up the strong out of conference work, Marshall has to pick it up out of conference (in other words, DONT LOSE TO MOREHEAD), MT somehow has to stay near the top and ODU has to get over the hump. It all begins and ends with out of conference schedule and success. The Missouri Valley developed a rep doing this, and it lasted a good while. We have to do the same. We need more of the same or better almost every year to be respected, even try for a second bid. JMHO.

It’s a very solid hoops league. Keep the momentum going. The league did well post season.
