Per Robe: UNO game will not be made up this season

[wcd35]

yes but my point was, if you guys are _____ing about playing UNO, I don't think playing LTU is going to help our RPI any more than playing UNO.

UNO has played some good teams, they have played some bad teams, but UNO's OWP is 54.5%, LTU OWP is 46%.

LTU has a better winning percentage 36% vs UNO at 16%
UNO has a better OWP at 54.5% vs LTU at 46%

I don't think either of these teams are who we want to play, that is my point. LTU is not better for our RPI than UNO. They both stink.

Understood and nothing is wrong with what you say, just that anytime someone compares teams as far as who we are playing and only lists the RPI rank, you'll almost always get a response clarifying the fact that RPI rank doesnt matter as far as who is better to play. Just like playing Troy helped us out this week, even though you look at their rank and they were in the 90s.

I was just throwing a possible replacement name out there...which is a possibility. I would hope that we could get a 3rd matchup with Southeastern....

Northern Kentucky
SIU Edwardsville
Long Island
Santa Clara
IPFW
Fordham
Florida A&M
Yale
Lafayette
Alcorn State
Ohio
Massachusetts
Mississippi Valley State
Fairleigh Dickinson
Iona
Coppin State
Mount Saint Mary's
Alabama A&M
Chicago State
Maryland Eastern Shore
New York Tech

Not to nitpick too much, but a team like Alabama St wouldnt too be bad. They're above .500. That fits into Brian's scheduling strategy as he's mentioned before. You want to schedule teams that will wind up with winning records that play generally weaker teams/conferences, like a top SWAC team. Theoretically, its a team you should be better than but they actually help your RPI. Of course, they wont help the OOWP, but that is basically negated.

But yeah generally those teams all have some of the worst Win Pcts.

I know Robe doesnt want to short change us a home game, but I dont mind just cancelling that game if we can't get a solid replacement.
