If we're really going with the .3/2 ratio, Augie will be #1.  They've got .3 on Benedictine and only a one loss difference.

I'm not sure how the committees deal with undefeated teams, but it would make sense to give them a little extra boost. Whereas Augustana's ability been observed to be .933 against a .572 schedule, Benedictine's is 1.000 against a schedule of at least .544.

They are very very close right now, and it's probably not worth splitting the hairs. I'm just guessing the RAC will figure ties go to the runner, where undefeated teams are concerned.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The committee will certainly honor an undefeated team if they have other numbers that are decent. It's when they have poor numbers (Albertus Magnus in the past) is when they will get hurt. In this case, I can't imagine Benedictine not getting some benefit of any doubt.

New SOS update through Sunday night's games if you want to see how the weekend affected any of the data.

New data through Monday, Jan 25. I think I'm finally caught up after all the postponements.

When was the last time the WIAC failed to rank even one team?

Hasn't happened. Ever. Well, except for last week too.

Stevens Point alone has been ranked in every poll but a handful.

Just looking at the page - the SUNYAC numbers seem to have only conference games instead of a full d3 record.

Just looking at the page - the SUNYAC numbers seem to have only conference games instead of a full d3 record.

We changed the names we use to reference a handful of SUNYAC schools in order to conform to their wishes. Might affect whatever you're using to collect info?

So the 10th is the 1st regional rankings?

Is this the SUNY Brockport vs. Brockport State thing?

I always liked saying Brockport State better myself but (at that time, I am unsure of what they are desiring with their current administration,) I think we were told to say SUNY Brockport.

Correct... Feb. 10 is the first regional rankings.

Yep, this would affect how the numbers pull in. I think I have it fixed now for these SUNYAC teams.

Feel free to check my work everybody. Team names on my rankings page should match the d3hoops names exactly (with the exception that I remove apostrophes).

Any other name changes you can think of?

I admit that I've been gone from the Empire State for a long time now, but I've never heard anyone from upstate New York refer to one of the SUNY schools by using the "SUNY" prefix. Sure, people use the acronym "SUNY" (pronounced "soony", not "sunny", or at least it's pronounced that way in central NY) when referring to New York's state university system as a whole, but it's always been "Brockport State" or "Buff State" or "Potsdam State" or "Cortland State", or just the name of the town, as in "Geneseo" or "Fredonia" or "Morrisville". "Soony Brockport" or "Soony Oswego" just sounds plain goofy to my ears.

Again, though, I've been gone a long time, and perhaps the drumbeat of officialdom that pg04 indicated has changed things.
