...good point.
In all fairness, he did say that the Aggies would win.
That game in 3OT against Texas doomed both Texas and Ok St in their next games.....This was a given.
1. he said A&M would win
2. i disagree about the teams being doomed in the next game, there was plenty of rest to be had and if you can't get up for a top 10 team in their building...you're a chump
...i don't care to give Mike a hard time, its just funny.
Rpi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oklahoma State's offensive numbers (percentages, etc.) were in line with what A&M had done to nearly all of its opponents (save LSU and UCLA).
The defense is improving as the season progresses, much like it did last year. OSU could have had a week off prior to our game and it wouldn't have mattered.
Don't forget y'all still meet at least once, probably twice more. I'd rather get the late season win in Oklahoma City, anyway...
Specifically because CaptMike asked the question (when comparing A&M and OSU's respective games against Auburn) whether we thought A&M was "19 points better than OSU"? Well, we found out last night that they are only 18 points better than OSU, and we can continue mocking him all we want for his team being soft on the road.

You guys can have your cute little RPI ranking.
I'll take being #6 in the nation in the polls. Oh, and a nearly 20 point ass whipping of your team.
Again, you are barking up the wrong tree. I have constantly maintained OSU is not a very good team. Heck, uo is the 2nd best defenesive team in the B12; they worry me tonite.
You just need to remember the whole RPI arguement when you are complaining come March that you got screwed on your seed. Right now no team in the Top 25 (excluding Butler) has a worse SOS than atm.
Right now, they have A&M ats a 2 seed.
What say you now?

Good for E$PN.
'They' don't make the seedings, btw.
Palm, the guy who does the RPI website: "Last year, I predicted 31 of 34 at-large teams correctly, and had 50 of 65 within one seed of actual." He currently has them as a 4-seed, even tho he places them in with the auto-bid.

Well, the Aggies have won 11 straight reg season conference games, and that is very impressive, considering they are only a couple of seasons removed from being 0-16 in conference play.
Yes?
Are you looking for self afirmation?
As I have said many times, I don't think OSU is all that; especially when our #3 guy went down for the year (altho he MAY be back) and we have a walkon in our regular rotation. Which means, I still don't think atm has beaten anyone of value. Heck, LSU is trying to play themselves out of the Dance.
Yes, please give it to me.
You're right, I'm sure our RPI won't go up at all with:You just need to remember the whole RPI arguement when you are complaining come March that you got screwed on your seed. Right now no team in the Top 25 (excluding Butler) has a worse SOS than atm.
tu twice
OSU once more in your place
at Kansas
50 out of 65 and the guy is gospel?
I watched the head of the selection committee, in an interview after the picks last year, explain that how you did in your last ten and your record away from home was just as important as the RPI to where you were seeded.
If A&M finishes in the top 8 teams in the country, are you really smoking enough crack to believe that they'll be a 4 seed?
...look, Capt. Mike is acting like an idiot. who gives a what he thinks, not to mention he's probably just messing with you guys anyway. i said before the osu game that i thought A&M was around the #12 team...after watching that game, in which they could have won by 30, i do think they deserve their lofty ranking. and we'll see what happens...You're right, I'm sure our RPI won't go up at all with:

although, i want to stress this. if A&M does finish in the top 10, i can guarantee you they won't be a 4 seed...at worst a 3...and you're right the RPI isn't everything. the committee selects top seeds that don't have corresponding RPIs, anyway.

You act like every other team isn't going to play anyone. What they say about RPI being fairly set around end of Jan is true - because all teams will play equalizers. OSU plays ttek twice, UT, atm. KU plays atm, UT. Wazzu has Zona, Ore x2 UCLA. On and on. This is why teams like Winthrop rightfully drop like a rock in RPI during conf play. They play only 300+ teams. Everyone else is playing very few teams 100+.
Also, if you look at the Top 30 teams, it is very reflective of the ranked teams. Only 5 of the poll's Top 25 are not in the Top 30 RPI (Nevada, Maryland, Notre Dame, LSU and UT).

...isn't this basically my argument for tekk, bag? thanks for making it... bag.
Wait, the top 25 teams in the RPI are nearly all in the top 25? You mean Grambling isn't in the top 25 RPI, but the teams with the best records in the country that play in the larger conferences are? That's pretty damn insightful
UCLA beats them again.
...i think we could beat them on a true neutral court.UCLA beats them again.
^ I was just about to quote that and say that A&M would stand a great chance of getting to the Final 4 out of that bracket. I watched all of the A&M/UCLA game and I can guarantee you that the UCLA coach wants no part of the Aggies in a neutral site game, and Anaheim isn't a neutral site. If Acie Law hadn't forgotten how to dribble during the first part of the game the Aggies would have won. No excuses, though. Still, A&M did not play well at all early and still only lost by what 4?
uh... no. Unless your arguement that on THAT DAY ttek was top 25 in RPI. That is the only thing that quote shows.
And to answer your gy friend, admist your putting down of the RPI, I was pointing out that RPI has the vast majority of the teams the pollsters have as well.
Yet another thread I never brought up RPI in, yet someone else saw it fitting to interject to poke fun at me.
