The CBS RPI Ratings for Men's College Basketball is Whack!

    INDIANA: Moves up to 87th best!

    Pretty sure that Indiana, my Hoosiers of Bloomington, the men (the women appear to be even better in their respective ranks) seem to be a top ten or top twenty team. They went up a lot after handling the Tar Heels at their home court last night. They ascended... 60 spots to 87. They are better than 87th, but most the seven teams that they have crushed are ranked really low, so the math has IU ranked low. But I still think that some of those teams will do better throughout the season. We shall see. Like who? Bethune Cookman, Jackson State...
