I can see why voters might be cautious in voting UH onto the Top 25, given that last time they did it the Coogs immediately choked and blew a couple of games. Still, can anyone explain to me how a team that is 10-1 and in the "others receiving votes" section of both the AP and Coaches poll is ranked 77th in the Sportsline RPI rankings? They started the season ranked 283, despite having a very respectable record last year and finishing third in the conference. And what power-house programs are ranked higher this year? How about Maryland-Baltimore County, Santa Barbara, Drake, Winthrop -- these mighty powers of college basketball. And don't tell me "hey, it's a computer system and that's just the way the numbers fall." If your system for ranking teams is this bad, then you need a new system. Your formula, simply put, sucks. If UH wins the next couple of games, including a game against UMass, I bet they go into the Arizona game ranked in AP, likely in coach's poll. Maybe they'll crack the Top 50 in the Sportsline RPI.
