After Season 4, we climbed another rung on the conference prestige ladder -- from C- to C. We're now just one step behind the A-10 and two steps behind the ACC:

season #4... up a total of 7 grades in prestige, Central Florida, Memphis and Marshall all moved two grades. We now have four B-level teams and only two D-level -- at the start we had seven D-level and zero B-level. With jones a near lock to bump UTEP's prestige up in the next season or two, we're in good shape. C. Florida loses only one senior and appears to be next in line to achieve B status.

And here is the final conference rpi rank, where we finished 6th, ahead of the ACC:

1.	SEC	.5993
2.	PAC 10	.5689
3.	Big 12	.5619
4.	Big 10	.5563
5.	Big East	.5522
