This will begin season #11

Average of the top-25 players in CUSA

Season #  6 = 760
Season #10 = 794
Season #11 = 816
pretty obvious we are still getting much better. 
I personally, would finally have to say, after 10 seasons, we are probably as good as 2-3 Big-6 conferences in Rupp.
 Opinions.....?

That's a tough question.

When it comes to regular season success/rpi/etc there's no doubt we're a top three conference.

I'm not totally sure I'd characterize us as a top three conference when it comes to postseason success/ability to win games in the postseason. I just don't think there are enough teams that are truly capable of deep runs just yet, and that's the function of needing some additional higher level talent.

I think ECU has turned the corner from a talent perpsective. UTEP has some really nice players. I think a lot of the other teams are NT-caliber, but are missing a few studs that would take them on a deep run. Not a team full of studs, mind you, but a couple studs sprinkled in with everyone else.

*on a side note: in Sh'niqua's sRPI's defense.
I wouldn't give a team that finished the season with an overall rating of 683 a snow-balls chance in hell at the NT as well.
formula or not... they usually just suck it.
Well done Dac
That is a really nice coaching job by dac, no doubt.

Here are some preseason predictions based upon my own "sRPI" calculations. After your team is the sRPI score, followed by what I predict your final RPI will be once the season concludes, and whether you will make the NT or PI. Because my system is flawless, the only way you'll get a different RPI at the end of the season is if you either over coach or under coach your players or more typically, if you screwed up scheduling. 

Also based on fifteen plus seasons of using the sRPI in Phelan, I can tell you this. If your sRPI score is above 250 you will make the NT unless purposely torpedo your team. If your sRPI score is above 235 you have an 80% chance of making the NT. If your sRPI score is above 225 you have any 80% chance of making the PI. If your sRPI score is below 215, you have virtually no chance of making the Postseason.

6. Memphis             134                        220.41 

WEST

1. Rice                      23                          247.52                 NT
2. Tulsa                    34                          244.27                 NT
3. Houston               43                          239.73                NT
4. UTEP                   51                          236.27                  NT
5. SMU                     55                          234.13              NT/PI
6. Tulane                 73                          229.44                 PI

Looks like the West is going to be a blood bath, any of the six teams could win the division, and it wouldn't be surprising to see all 6 teams in the NT if everyone scheduled well.
