What do you guys think the winning number is for the league champion? I think its going to be 3 losses. Really makes me nervous because UC already has 2.

SMU will probably win the regular season title. Cincinnati will probably come in second.
Agreed. I think SMU/Tulsa will win at 2 or 3 losses. UC must win at Tulsa AND at SMU to have a shot.
I don't expect them to win both so I think well finish at 14-4 or 13-5 in conference. Definitely enough to make the tournament, bit not enough to win the conference.

This guy was a complete clown when we played Nebraska, so not surprised to see this.

Tulsa will have more than 3 losses.

That was pretty dirty. However, Nebraska is up 58-43 on Michigan State with 7 minutes left. Should help our RPI if they hold on.
Any other input than Tulsa predictions?

Not in response to that particular post.
SMU is up to 43 votes in the AP Poll, good for #28. They have @USF, vs UCF coming up before our game on Feb 5th. I hope they'll be ranked when we play them. Crazy to think we've only played against one ranked team this season (though VCU is ranked now and SDSU is not).

Not sure about that. They beat Temple on the road and crushed Memphis at home. They beat UConn at home by 8. Here are the teams left they play with a winning record which they haven't already beat on the road.
SMU home and away (pretty good team)
UC home (we must win against them)
UConn away (could lose this one)
Memphis away (already crushed them)
They would have to lose 4 of those games or another unexpected loss. If they lose twice to SMU...SMU will be hard pressed to find more than 3 losses and if they split with SMU...Tulsa will be hard pressed to find more than 3 losses.

Unless they hit a wall like we did last year. They beat ECU by 2pts. Hope that wall starts tonight. Wishful thinking.

We'll see. I definitely don't think they're above losing a couple games they "should" win. Going 8-3 the rest of the way is no picnic. Shoot, we have to win 3 out of the next 4, on top of our current 3 game winning streak and 2-0 start to conference play, just to get to 8-3 ourselves.

I agree. They lost at home to SE Oklahoma St.. Matter of fact, I think they will lose 3 of the next 4.

Tulsa with the 62-55 win at Tulane. Now 8-0 in AAC play. Crazy.

The unbalanced schedule in the AAC is really helping Tulsa this year. I can't imagine their computer numbers look very good though. A couple losses could ultimately put them right on the bubble or out of the tourney.
Tulsa is only currently projected in most brackets because they are winning the conference. They are 0-3 vs RPI top 50 and just 3-3 vs RPI top 100. 10 of their 15 wins are against teams with sub 150 RPI's. They would not make it as an at-large if the tournament was today.

Think about this, does Tulsa hurt the AAC being in first place 8-0?

45 RPI, 127 sos...better keep winning.
And yes Tulsa leading the conference does hurt outside perception. Then again, it was already low to begin with. Based on last years committee, this year I'll take what seed we're projected to get and add two.
