Alabama is better than they have shown so far this season.


no they aren't.

no inside presence, no consistent scorers outside of Releford and maybe Cooper.

Ultimate, I feel like you judge every team on who they lose to. Hell you think Arky should be rated higher than everyone else because they've had better losses.

You need to judge teams on their wins, not losses.

Arguing that Arizona State is a better loss than MTSU? Yikes.


Not even close, MTSU is terrible.

MTSU will finish far, far, far ahead of Arizona State in the RPI.


And AZState would still beat them.


What does this have to do with anything? Even if true, you are aware that "bad losses" are determined by final RPI, right?

There is ZERO chance that AZ State finishes with a better RPI than MTSU.

I vote we strike Arkansas from any basketball rankings at this point in the season. I feel like we have an Arizona State argument in every thread. Ultimately, it is very difficult to separate teams 4-8 in the SEC right now.

Well don't get your hopes up in March if the only thing you can brag about is your losses.

The fact that he was talking up a win over Texas Tech and dismissing MTSU "because it's Middle Tennessee State" tells me it's not an objectivity issue.

Texas Tech was 5-3 and at home.

To compare, MTSU lost to Belmont and Akron on the road.

Sorry ASU goes on the road and beats Tech by 15.

15 point road win over TTU > Road losses to Belmont/Akron

I'm not defending our loss to MTSU, it's a fricking loss, but MTSU has a quality program.

You are in denial if you think otherwise.

Belmont and Akron would both beat Texas Tech by 20.

To be clear, for when this is bumped on Selection Sunday, you're arguing that Texas Tech is a better win than MTSU? Do I have that correct?

When tourney time comes around the only thing Arky will have going for them is, "our losses are better than yours"

Dumbest thing I've read today, Bama couldn't even do that.

Where did you get that from? This is about AZ State referencing the win @Tech is to point out it's better than the awful road record for MTSU.

How the hell is that dumb? Belmont and Akron would both probably beat Alabama right now.

If you think Belmont is a "bad loss" and Texas Tech is a "good win," then I question if you've paid attention to college basketball outside of Arkansas for the past ten years. Your program hasn't been relevant in nearly twenty years, so I understand it, but at least admit that you know completely nothing about college basketball.

Ok, how about I rephrase things. You believe that MTSU will have an RPI of 100+ on Selection Sunday, correct?
