Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings
With news of the new conference "merger" (or association, whatever you want to call it) still soaking in, let's move on a bit to take a look at this week's Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings. Memphis caught Southern Miss in the standings last week, but apparently that wasn't enough for the...
Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings
It's fair to say that Southern Miss has established itself as the best team in Conference USA, and its just as fair to say that at this point the Memphis Tigers are the only other team in the same ball park. Tulsa isn't far behind, and Marshall and UCF aren't far behind the Hurricane, but after...
Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings
By far, this week has been the toughest week to try and decide who should be the top team in conference. All of the top 4 have gone 1-1 against each other, winning at home and losing on the road. So, I put the decision on you all. And, while we didn't get as much feedback as I would've liked,...
Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings
Conference action is finally here, and so is the new year. With that, the Conference USA Power Rankings will be taking on a bit of a change. Starting this week, teams' RPI and SOS will be listed, as well as their record against division 1 opponents only, as those are the only games the NCAA...
Power Rankings: Nets Down Again
It's been a while since the Nets rose above #20 in the Power Rankings, maybe in early 2008-09 when Devin Harris and Vince Carter were dropping 30 points on alternate nights. Not since. Not that we can recall. And with fans fearing the worst (12-70 worst) and Deron Williams unable to sleep, it's...
Hockey Wilderness Power Rankings: 12-16-2011
The amount of credence given to any NHL Power Rankings is based on the ability of the author to make their case. Some writers use advanced stats, some use gut feelings, other just go off the standings. No matter what their rationale, they are nearly always... wrong. So, when we do ours, we use...
Conference USA Basketball Power Rankings
Conference USA has no teams in the top 25 after Memphis' loss to Murray St. over the weekend, and Conference USA also has no more undefeated teams as Tulane fell to Wofford last Tuesday. Still, C-USA has a handful of tough teams at the top, let's see how they all line up in the second round of the...
Hockey Wilderness Power Rankings: 12-9-2011
In the young history of the Hockey Wilderness Power Rankings, we've gone from crazy to ludicrous stats for ranking the teams. Who knew the Wild would rank so low in top line sweater number combinations, but so high in the size matters category? With the sudden surge in provincial success here in...
The Unbearable Powerfulness of Ranking (Part the Fourth)
Prior to the season, I did a power ranking of the AFC South as compared to other things. The concept was simple (as most of my concepts are wont to be): What we need is a Power Ranking that gives you a sense of how much difference there is between the teams as well as a frame of reference for...
Hockey Wilderness Power Rankings: 12-2-2011
For the past two weeks, we have openly mocked the power rankings process that not only permeates the hockey world, but also the sports world. If you look hard enough, you can bet there are power rankings for the Swedish Lawn Golf league. If you run, or participate in, any sort of local sports...
