No A-10 teams...still
Fordham is only team I suspect will be worse than #200 in the prediction and actuality. Hopefully, the Bonnies, Colonels, and Niners can do better this year.

Wow, they're severely underrating Havard...
Rice should be better than 204th too.

193. St Bonnies
159. St. Louis

Not bad to get ten in the top150.

Right now I would accept 1 team in the 200-250 range with 4-5 in the 150-200 range, as long as there are at least 8 in the top 100 with 4-5 in the top 50.

On paper, the Atlantic 10 is looking good for 7th place in the Conference rankings, but probably no better than that. The A10 may challenge for 6th place, but to get there, the "A10 suck factor" will have to be exorcized during non-conference games this season.

It seems like lots of conferences have the 'suck factor'. I remember some old friends that were fans of some Great Midwest Conference teams that always talked about the suck factor dragging them and their conference down. They fixed their problem though.

CvilleMuskie · 09-15-2009, 11:52 AM

Make that ten teams in the top 123:

123 - UMass
117 - St. Joe's
114 - Rhode Island
101 - Charlotte

And 6 teams in the top 100...

With two from Philly and three from Pennsylvania!

Here's my predicted order of Rivals ranking:

Temple - #88
Duquesne - #61
LaSalle - #51
Richmond - #46
Xavier - #34
Dayton - #24

All guesses!

As meta-prognostications (predictions of other people's predictions) go, looks pretty solid.

Though if I were making my own prognostication (not a meta-prognostication mind you), I'd anticipate Xavier's ancient firearms might be despoiled by cobwebs this year. . .

CvilleMuskie · 09-15-2009, 01:30 PM

OK, I get the "cobwebs" part of the analogy, but you lost me on the "ancient firearms" bit. If Xavier is on the young side and they have a brand new coach, I'm a little lost here. Unless you mean ancient because they have been the flagship for so long, and even then, past flagships would disagree. Speaking of young firearms, an assistant coach for Xavier, Travis Steele tweeted that Brad Redford made 100 out of 113 3-point shots. I know it means nothing because of no defense in his face, but has any other team in the A-10 had a player that could shoot like that in practice. Did jimmy Baron put on shows like that? If basketball does not work out for Brad, maybe he could get together a basketball version of "Eddie Feiner's King and His Court" and put on shooting demonstrations at the halftime of NBA games or somethin'

LoL!

SpiderInTheMixingBowl · 09-15-2009, 01:50 PM

Musketeers carried muskets. I consider muskets to be an ancient firearm, though perhaps less ancient than say an arquebus. But will agree that yes your Muskies are young and my Spiders are experienced.

A10fan2 · 09-15-2009, 02:32 PM

Well as the old saying goes....."you don't bring a spider to a gun fight."
