Wondering if some of the "traditional" power schools are getting preferred treatment in the RPI...noting that UNC Kansas and Duke are still in their top 10 after a hand full of losses. Winning in the ACC must count more than winning in the SEC at this point...with 4 ACC teams in the top 10. RPI DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY GOODNIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of that but someone devised that formula (NCAA I think) and made certain assumptions about what was important and weighted the values to create the formula....and decided for example that margin of victory was not a factor. Just saying that the validity is subject to evaluation or questioning just as much as the polls and that the formula might have built in bias. ..

abw0004 10,110 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Absolutely no way to gauge this against other schools, but Auburn has to be one of the best athletic programs in their ability to fight through adversity. Football was able to ignore all of the talk about Malzahn on the hot seat and the mid-year player transfers, softball has done a good job of ignoring the Meyers issue, baseball rose up when everyone said they would be terrible, and now basketball doing what hasn't been done since 2000 when the FBI is fresh in our minds. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was referring more to the "One and done schools." This Auburn team is very talented. Harper almost broke the Auburn single game assist record during the Vandy game. They play unselfishly, and that is their greatest talent yet. Oh, and we can finally hit free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,822 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Make no mistake about it, we are a very talented team. I want to say every single player in our rotation was a 4* player or above except for Desean Murray and Malik Dunbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was committed to freaking UNC-CHARLOTTE before Bruce flipped him. I also checked on Anfernee's rating -- he was a 3 star. How awesome is it that we have a coach who is not only a top-notch recruiter and developer, but also one who is fantastic at finding talent that others overlook? I still think we are very talented. We are undersized but I don't think we are under-talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's been all about blend, synergy or whatever you call it....but some teams with more individual talent that we have mentioned have not yet figured out the secret to maximize team accomplishment.

Just wow. We eat our own. These distractions are mostly only discussed from within. The “ scandals “ will always happen. I hope our new AD can navigate through them like the past ones have.
