If this was the year

[BillEsq]

The sad thing is 2 months ago everyone was doing the pissing test entry exam to the C7 when SLU's numbers weren't as high... lol how bout we compare rpi's and sagrins now????

That said if the conference was going this year it would look...

School ......RPI.....Sagrin ....AP...Coaches .....Tournament
GU ...........11......10 ........ 5 .......5 ......... NCAA LOCK
Marquette.. 12 .....16 ........15....... 17........ NCAA LOCK
SLU ..........26 ......18 .......16 .......15 ........NCAA LOCK
Butler........ 29 ...... 52 .......31....... 30 ........NCAA LOCK
Creighton....35 .......28........ 34.......31 ........ NCAA Lock
VU........... 55 .......45 ..............................NCAA bubble in
St Johns .....71........76 ............................. NCAA bubble out
Providence ..80 .......61...............................NIT
Xavier.........93........81 ............................ NIT probable
Dayton.......104........66.............................CBI if they make the A-Ten
Seton Hall ...115.......103............................ OUT
Depaul........196......146............................/OUT

Feel free to insert your choice of the following
Richmond.......83 .......88 .......................... CBI
VCU .............31........23 ......21.......19.....NCAA LOCK

That is easily 6 NCAA's and 3 NIT's barring any surprises. All but 3 teams are in the RPI top 100 (dayton all so close) and all but 2 in the sagrin top 100 (seton hall o so close and look at Dayton go) But back to the real numbers 6NCAAs easy with 3 being projected at a 5 seed or higher... so easily 9 earned units right there. Does anyone doubt the ability of this league to compete regardless of who you plug in?
