No error.  RPI weighs road wins so heavily.  It's huge to win on the road--which is why I don't understand why more teams don't play cupcakes at their place.  Add in this neutral court W and a possible road win tomorrow and we'll be in first for a few weeks.

It's just the RPI, man.  The formula is not meant to crown top teams a few weeks into the season.  Most of the elite teams that will separate themelves from the pack later in the season are playing patsies at home.  We won a road game and a neutral court game.  I believe tomorrow is a road game, although it could be a neutral court game as well.  Either way, we will be rewarded handsomely if we win.  Three wins away from home against solid teams would be a helluva start.

I know it's nothing really but it's just real funny to think of us at 1 of anything.

Before the Siena game they had us 3-0...

1-0 vs top 50
2-0 vs top 51-100  LIU and Brown
1-0 vs 101-150  St. Bonaventure

No idea how they got 1-0 vs top 50...thought it was an error.  Maybe St. Bon was top 50 when we played them.
