conference-usa Stories - Team Speed Kills
RPI WATCH: 1/7/12
Guess it's been a while since I did one of these, huh? Probably about time for another one, considering another round of Big 12 Conference games is just a few hours away. For the life of me, I don't know how our RPI is staying as high as it is when all of our non-conference opponents keep falling...
RPI WATCH: 12/26/11
The final order of finish in the 2011 Diamond Head Classic: Kansas St. Wildcats Long Beach St. 49ers UTEP Miners Auburn Tigers Hawaii Warriors Clemson Tigers Xavier Musketeers Southern Illinois Salukis Though the field was far from a giant-killer like your typical Maui Invitational, I think we...
Conference USA Final Power Rankings
Football season isn't quite over as there are still conference championship games, and bowls left to play, but this will be the Rush's final power rankings for the 2011 season. It's been an interesting season, successful for some, and disappointing for others, but all in all very entertaining. Here...
RPI WATCH: 11/18/11
K-State's way-too-premature-to-be-worrying-about RPI plummeted in the past two days, thanks mostly to losses by Howard, Loyola Chicago, North Florida and Texas A&M. The last was particularly damaging, I suspect. Complete results for Wednesday and Thursday follow after the jump. Look for Friday...
TCU 2011 Outlook– the Schedule
The Frogs open 2011 with a pair of very similar road games. Both come against familiar foes—Baylor has played TCU three times since 2006, including last year's "game" in Fort Worth. Air Force has been a conference opponent for seven years running. Both opponents feature senior quarterbacks,...
SMU 2011 Outlook
This is the spring of Year Four of the June Jones revival on the Hilltop. Nobody questions that coach Jones has brought the Mustangs to a higher plateau, or that the Ponies are going to be bowl eligible most years. But, in a subtle tribute to Jones's success, that's no longer enough. This team...
Opponent Preview: SMU
Taking a different tack this week, here is a Q&A with Sancho, a writer at perunaspundits, which is fantake.com's SMU blogger, about Friday's DFW Duel, and SMU. The Purple Wimple: Has Zach Line made SMU fans forget Shawnbrey McNeil? Sancho: Who’s Shawnbrey McNeil? I think that he has, due to...
RPI WATCH: 11/16/11
Quite a bit has happened during the past two days, but rather than go into detail, I'll let y'all follow the jump to see what occurred. Here's a spoiler, though: Iowa State, Kansas, Southern Illinois and West Virginia all lost. Overall Record = 2-0 Big 12 Record = 0-0 RPI = 121 SOS =...
Conference USA Power Rankings: Bowling Edition 2
The Conference USA race gained some clarity over the weekend, as losses by Marshall, ECU, and UCF put #20 Southern Miss two games ahead of everyone else in the East with only two games to play. UTEP took a step towards bowl eligibility after knocking off ECU, Houston and Tulsa continued their...
RPI WATCH: 11/14/11
OK, I was a bit negligent with this feature considering there were games the last three days, but cut me some slack — it's because I was busy cheering on the Cats, ya know? Anyhow, you typically can expect to see a sort of "weekend wrapup" RPI WATCH on Monday because Sunday is now my busiest...
