We were headed to the playoffs after week one last season.

Random numbers?

We’re 11th in the KenPom real real time RPI. Probably a mix of playing 10 games (9-1) vs RPI +200 teams and having 5 home losses. A few other teams in the top ten have one or the other (Arizona has 5 home losses, but #1 sos) and La Tech has 11 games vs +200 but only 3 home losses.

I think you switched sports on us there, wutheringdawg.

He sure did. I get it though, #8 in the nation only makes logical sense in one of the big 3 sports at the moment, and it sure ain’t basketball or football.

We have a lot of returning production, and a lot of production transferring in, FPI loves returning production. We will be a good team next year, fringe top 25 type that will upset someone.

Well shoot, that’s what I get for drinking and posting.

I think the ESPN FPI formula involves a blindfolded monkey throwing darts.
