Why is this team not ranked? Topic

I have beaten 3 teams that were ranked when I beat them. My team is 6-0 with victorys over 3 ranked teams, as of today.

Because the Top 25 rankings have never been very accurate.

This is gonna hurt in postseason if my team does notget some credit for these quality wins. This is not a 14 seed team andI have a hunch that a 14 is commin' AGAIN.

It is the RPI that matters. And then how you finish the season. Win the CT and you definitely won't get a 14 seed.

You're seven games in and you're beating good teams. Not sure you have any idea what seed you'll get.

Agreed.

And now that RPI is out, you're 7-0 with the 20 RPI. Sorry to dash your underdog fantasy, but you're not anywhere near a 14 right now.

of course, if it is anything what my last 2 seasons finishing around a 20 RPI (28 RPI, 20-9 and 22 RPI 22-8) you can get an 8 seed and face a #1 2nd round (unless, like me, you look past your 1st rd opponent and get smoked - 28 RPI team did that one...)

And if you're anything like me, you'll be the one seed and lose to that 8 seed :)

Once you creep up to the 8-10 loss mark you can see your seed drop a few lines from where your RPI would seed you on the S-curve.

That said, I don't see any problem with that. I would be very hard pressed to give a team with a low 20 rpi a top 5 seed when they lost double digit games. RPI is one tool in figuring out where a team should be seeded.

Sorry I don't think you were complaining about this but I think many people feel that just beacause their rpi says they are #20 that then they should be a 5 seed, when that really is only showing a very small portion of the teams resume.

No fantasy. I can't remember my final record offhand, but I was a 14 seed last year after running my conference undefeated and winning the conference title.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

1.) Last year you had a 74 RPI = your 14th seed
2.) Just because you win 7 games doesn't mean you get an auto-rank
3.) You only beat 1 Top 50 RPI team
4.) The ranked teams you played, so far are over ranked (not saying they are not good and won't be great teams just so far they are 4-3, and 3-4 with their records)

5.) Wait until your 14-0 or 15-0 before your saying why am I not ranked

Note: I would be if you win your next 3 games in non-con that you will be ranked going into conference play.

Yeah, you also had an RPI of 74 to go along with your 25-5 record, meaning that your SoS was awful. Scheduling a little harder probably would be to your benefit.

Sorry but you are missing a huge part of the picture if you think that you really deserved much more, having a 74 rpi and all.
