ESPN BPI

[CyKings]

The ESPN BPI was released:

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi

We are number 31 and an 8 seed by their calculations... we also are 6th in the big 12 behind KU, Texas, WVU, Baylor, and OU.

Also there is a story about how Frank Martin used to moonlight as a bouncer in Miami, which is hilarious and makes perfect sense.

We are already boycotting ESPN, correct?

 

[Spam]

Yet we're number 12 in the ESPN power rankings and 3rd best team in the Big 12. I suppose ESPN is predicting a mediocre conference season for us. Boycott time.

UNC at 17....what a joke

If my doctor says I have a BMI of 24 I wonder what ESPN will say...

I blame all of this on Seth Davis! He questioned why ISU is ranked higher than that crappy team we lost to. Now ESPN says we're only an 8 seed! The Big Dance is only three months away! And now we might have to play Kentucky in the first round! I'M ANGRY AND I'M NOT TAKING THIS ANYMORE!!!

And if we don't beat Drake by 40, we're on the bubble!:swoon::swoon::swoon:

Is this kind of like their TQR? Which no one uses.

Seriously we need to trounce UMKC and Southern and MVS and Drake. It is if you want to be ranked/rated higher. The days of just winning games is gone for Fred. He has a rep to maintain. Or else we need a tougher schedule in non conference.

LOL! The BPI this early is a complete joke.
No way if the NCAA Tournament started today would UNI be a 6-seed and ISU be an 8-seed. In all honesty, ISU would likely be a 3 or 4 seed and UNI would likely be in the 8, 9, or 10 seed range.

No more Southern or UMKC games needed. We need to upgrade next year. If we lose to a Western Kentucky or Western Michigan, it is still better than losing to Southern or UMKC.

Fixed.

Hmmmm ranked 13th overall and a number 8 seed. That would be a first and of course it would happen to us

What do they say about Ginger U? (validity-check)

 

[Bewilderme]

Lunardi put us as #12 overall I thought? A 3 seed
