(wow, this guy is really throwing in a lot of mid-majors!)
 
Sounds like this guy is making it up as he goes - and he changes it as he goes.

:lol:

I got a feeling we might be the next MVC team.

Wow! This guy is losing credibility real fast! Greensboro better than Wake Forest, Minnesota, Mizzou St, etc., etc.,...........They'd be lucky to finish ahead of Ind. St.(#124) in The Valley. They have absolutely no guard play and are a one-man team. :?
 
Has anyone ever compared last year's (or any other year) preseason top 144 to the final RPI rankings? I bet they are not even close.

george, I did an analysis of the last two years' of the CHN Top 144, but it is probably lost over on the other board.
Of course they were wrong by a mile, with Bradley listed at #156 the year they went to the Sweet 16, and Duke, who dropped out of the Top 25 in midseason last year and hovered around .500, picked in the Top 15 in 2007!

For your own amusement, here are the last two years' CHN predictions:

2005-2006

(note Bradley #156)

2006-2007

(Duke picked #1, FLORIDA - the ultimate winner was picked #56, Northern Iowa picked to win the MVC)
 
#77 Duquesne - 6th in Atlantic 10
