I know that winning percentage sure has helped the AAC with seeding. It's sad watching you struggle for any lifeline after literally every single prediction you have made for the last 5 years has been wrong. That's Cleveland Browns level futility there. Blindfolded dart throwers would have better predictions than you.

WSU is in trouble right now...

Not really. If you think there is, please explain the WAC being #5 in the RPI right now despite a 11-17 record.

Please explain the top 7 conferences having the Big East and the entire P5 in it, all of which are virtually guaranteed to finish in the top 7?
I never said it was perfect or anywhere near at this point, but clearly there is some statistical significance. Quit acting dumb.
Big East I think has a good chance at #1 after tonight, where they belong for now.

That's huge with the new classifciations for wins- remember it's top 30 home wins and top 75 road wins for tier 1 wins. So right now, Wichita could have for example 8 tier 1 conference wins along with another 5 tier 2 conference wins...

You can’t preach in one thread about the importance of winning (or even just competing) vs certain RPI tiers, and SOS, and then claim straight winning % is a significant metric. If conf A schedules cupcakes and conf B sprinkles in tough games then winning % can’t be a comparative stat. As an example the Gavitt games pits 8 BE schools (power conf) vs 8 B1G schools (power conf). Counting Gavitt games and others (ND, UCLA) the BE has already challenged itself fairly well. Go over and look at the scalps that the AAC have accumulated and the games that they have lost and try to tell me again that comparing straight winning % means anything.
Take the losses alone:
Minn. (top 25)
Purdue (top 25)
ND (top 25)
@MD
Illini (only questionable loss and it was by the leagues most unreliable program)
On the AAC side:
Drexel
Radford
Central Conn.
Indiana
Morgan St.
Alabama
Lamar
Ill. St.
Iowa St.
I’m not going to go through the wins on each side but let’s just say that they too do not compare.
