No tiers for the freshman just lots of games that I have watched. I think that I have a pretty good feel for who the contenders are. It's like running the 400. Everybody gets out of the gate fast but you can tell who is going to be in it by who made up the stagger on the back 120. The WatchESPN app is great. All the games that you care to watch between ACC and SEC teams are right there.

I still can't quite figure out the pecking order in the PAC 12 quite yet other than to say it is basically a race for 3rd place with a wide open field. Good luck to you and your players.

And sometimes there's that 4 that ends up

Being a photo finish

It's a sprint
 
I believe UCLA looks the best in the PAC12

On paper

A lot of programs are going paperless now

So on the mental side of the game

We have to wait until the freshman get tired

And the special ones jump off the paper

True. Look at last year......Who of thought a squad full of future attorney generals would have made it to the final four?

Hoyas did it...and I'm sure there will be another dark horse to do it again.
 
Big game for the Wildcats this weekend. They get to go into Palo Alto and see if organized chaos works. I will be rooting for them. There is definitely an opportunity there.

RPI is meaningless at this point. Right now due to the way the formula is constructed it is overrating the weaker conferences. This fixes itself towards the end of October. I do like the 19 RPI for Pepperdine although that will be put on the line this weekend against Santa Clara who is much better than their record would indicate. If you sleep on their attack it could be fatal.

I agree, by the end of October we'll definitely know who the top teams are... with or with out the RPI.
RPI will then matter if your in the low 60's, ie, on the cusp. After that you're not coming to the dance unless you win your league.

Santa Clara plays LMU first, and Pepperdine plays San Francisco first.
LMU can beat Santa Clara and Pepperdine could lose to San Francisco.
Im not gonna discuss what happens on Sunday until what happens on Friday has already happened.
