57, is currently where the CUSA project in rupp stands in the 5 year. the CUSA in world 3 is at 47, the highest of mid majors. that conference has such a good group of coaches, initiated by girt/daalter, it will be interesting to see how high they can get it.
now, 57 and 47 might sound pretty good, but i think this whole list is very telling. there are only SIX big 6 programs, 10 worlds, thats 60.
there is only ONE mid major who even cracks the top 55. you'd have to think, the bottom of the barrel big 6 confs, in less than the 10th percentile, can't be *that* hard to pass. but apparently, they are. the worst big 6 conference is 65th.
i think that just goes to show how ridiculously skewed recruiting is right, now, in d1, towards the BCS conference teams, especially the high end ones.
