Another thing to think about...Strength of Schedule.
Of the Top 11 Teams in RPI and PI:
Ranking by Strength of Schedule:
1. Cedarville - 0.537
2. Findlay - 0.535
......
7 (tie). MI Tech - 0.505
11. SW Baptist - 0.471
UMSL was 10th in SOS....yet another reason why committee didn't put them as 2 seed despite that being their ranking in RPI and PI.

Hey tough BB tough guy I am not talking "my school"...I am saying #1 seed in GLVC is better period then a Cedarville or Findlay...based on a season of work not what a team does in 3 to 5 days.
Fyi I would rather be going to D1 then a team/school that should be in D3 or a NAIA school playing Oakland City.
Go Bellarmine Go NKU Go Lindenwood...and we hope for GVSU and Lincoln Memorial...life goes on.

And besides, say the (really dumb) 5 year no tourney rule wasn't there. Bell's great season would culminate in an NCAA tournament game ... as a 14, 15 or 16 seed most likely getting thumped by a Power 5 school and that's the best they can hope for in the next 10-15 years. Whereas in D2 they were a legitimate national championship contender every single year. As good as they've done in the A-Sun I'd much rather be in a position to win it all than only get to celebrate every 3 or 4 years just making the tournament.Last edited by kdubnation; 03-08-2022, 11:57 PM.

Just more evidence that I believe Findlay and Cedarville were way overranked and USI had a shot to be ranked in their place...which would have given Truman, SBU, and UMSL more results against ranked teams. According to PI, Massey, etc, USI always should have been in the top 10 mix all along, if not top 8 at times.
I posted earlier in the season results of head-to-head which showed that the GLVC was leading both GMAC and GLIAC overall. Not a lot of crossover play, but what little there was didn't ever indicate that the GMAC deserved so many more ranked teams this season than others did. Their "results against ranked teams" that kept being used as a reason for overranking them looked stacked simply because they had more ranked teams - the problem compounds on itself.
