Note--any similarity between these numbers and reality is pretty much coincidence. Especially this early and, repeat after me, it's really, really early.

Computer average to start the week was 75 https://www.masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm

Massey likes us at 49 (up 18) https://www.masseyratings.com/cb/ncaa-d1/ratings

Warren Nolan finally got our record right and says our ELO Chess is 46 and RPI is 49. http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2019/schedule/Davidson

ESPN BPI 83 http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/overview/page/4

Pomeroy 82 https://kenpom.com/

Sagarin seems to have a drug problem at the moment https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaab/sagarin/

Preseason NCAA tournament predictions. http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

First Four Out. St Louis gets the auto bid as a 12. Others getting votes -- GMU, RI, St Joes, St Bona.

Strange not to have any for Dayton or VCU

RPI is now 41.

Some might find Jerry Palm's RPI Booster interesting https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/bracketology/

A few weeks ago, Joe Lunardi had Davidson winning the A10's automatic bid and receiving a 12 seed. St. Louis was an at large selection and was an 11 seed.

He generally does not tout the A10, probably due to his St. Joseph's association.

It will be a very squashed down conference if the winning team has only 12-13 wins. Similar to the 1973 NL East.

BTW -- non-math question. I'm curious if there are any other two syllable words with a single vowel?

Also what word has the most letters with a single vowel?

Joe Btfsplk is unavailable for comment.

The A10 is typically underrated at this point in this season. Our position will improve if we keep winning and as overrated P5 teams (who’re only in the bracket because of pre-season expectations) lose.

Let's hope. Even then, we probably need a barbell conference standings.

Schism, chasm, spasm.
As for question #2, may the schwartz be with you.

Realistically, we probably need to go 10-3/11-2 and 13-5 in conference to feel good. I can not stress how critical the two neutral court wins we got last week were. If we take all 3 (and we’re better than all 3 btw) of the NE/Temple/Wake games we will be in the driver seat for an at large.

And plenty of contractions -- wasn't, isn't, hasn't, his'n (as in his'n and hers towels)

Re #2, ask Waitress. Finding answers like that is one of his strengths.

Never heard of him. After google, not that kind of comics guy. He does, however, have a y. Lil Abner's poor friend struck out.


Just came across this. You might enjoy. Or maybe CA

My strengthlessnesses (“one” vowel) know no limit.
