UC 55th on Realtimerpi (1/14)

[bearcat jeff]

Realtimerpi has our Bearcats at 55 with a bullet as of Friday the 14th. SOS is down to 261 and it will drop again today when we play Syracuse. UC is 3-1 against the Realtime top 100 and 1-1 against the top 50. Xavier is 40th and is currently a quality win for the Bearcats. Villanova is 14th and Syracuse 3rd. A win today and the Bearcats will make a big jump.

The Cats then have games against the numbers 15 and 16 in Notre Dame and St. Johns respectively.

Why does our SOS drop when we play a team that is ranked #4? Wouldn't it go up?

He means drop in terms of the actual number going down. So if our strength of schedule is 225 and it goes to 200, Jeff is calling that a drop.
