Message: [QUOTE="Orangemen, post: 2112780, member: 106"] I wonder about these big east teams. I really feel like that conference is over rated, though I have no arguments to back it up. It just feels like outside of nova and maybe butler everyone else just trades wins all year and ends up around .500. I feel like they are gaming the rpi somehow, but again I have nothing to back it up. On a side note, I think all those mid majors who figured out how to game the rpi are really the reason it's getting phased out. I remember the mountain west had a nice trick back in 2013 where everyone in the league replaced their one or two lowest ranked opponents with d2 teams, which didn't count as rpi games. Then the whole conference got over seeded and almost all of them were beat by higher seeded teams the first weekend. [/QUOTE]
