    Bout time. Gtown really sucks. Hard to believe they are still ranked. Seem to struggle to get to 50 every game

  • Hmmm....Joe Lunardi has an article on ESPN saying that MSU has yet to prove themselves against good competition. Nothing about Michigan though. fishing

    lol Saw that one too

    MSU made the mistake of filling out the OOC with a bunch of 200+ RPI teams instead of 100+ RPI teams

    UM- 2 games vs RPI Top 50
    MSU- 5 games vs RPI Top 50

    Who are the top 50 teams? I'm assuming Kansas, Minnesota, UConn, Miami, and then some other team?

    Lost 3.. but that wasn't the discussion.. was the discussion of most of MSU's games being "fake" due to easy schedule.. and it is- much easier than Izzo typically schedules

    It's early- so RPI's are still really skewed

    RPI/team

    Kansas RPI 2
    Miami RPI 5
    Minny RPI 7
    UCONN RPI 23
    Boise RPI 40

    MSU isn't a very good football program.. takes year of consistent winning to get to that level. - copemoney 1/22/13

  • Anyone know what happened to Peterklima?

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    We sacrificed him for a win over Ohio St. It was in vain.

    FYI to those who care (I know MrWoodson has used this source before).

    Live-RPI.com seemingly has different RPI rankings from ESPN. ESPN's is updated daily, so they should only be different after games have been played on any given day, which obviously would not be right now.

    They aren't far off (MSU is 19th on ESPN and 22nd on Live-RPI, Gonzaga is 7th on ESPN and 5th on Live-RPI, etc), but just figured I'd let everyone know that one is probably a bit inaccurate.

    I don't know, but looking at his recent post, I liked this gem of a thread. You were a good sport Rocky.

  • “It’s hard not to pick Michigan [as favorite to win the national title] right now, with what they’re doing,” Cleaves said of the unbeaten and No. 2-ranked Wolverines. “For me to say Michigan, you know it’s got to be real, because I’m a Michigan State guy through and through. But you’ve got to give credit where credit is due."

    “Michigan is a great team. Fun to watch, very well-coached and led by Trey Burke. He makes it easy for those guys. They have four guys who can get shots any time they want to. (Tim) Hardaway can get a shot any time he wants. (Nik) Stauskas has been a big surprise to everybody.”

    The NCAA just put put its first official set of RPI rankings for the season. ESPN and RPIforecast attempt to replicate the official calculation. Theoretically, they all should be the same but differences in timing in updates and possible errors might explain small differences.

    MSU's played 3 of the top 8 RPI teams already.. yikes.

    Though have no idea why Miami's RPI is so good.. their schedule doesn't seem that intense at all

    If you finish the season with just three losses, I will be the first to say you guys have a great team this year.

    Everything is pointing in that direction. Maybe he will surprise us. He's a bit of a practical joker, you know.

    No more losses for MSU this year? Congrats.
