We're about to be back to having no Top 25 wins....

if South Carolina keeps losing.

They don't magically disappear. It's at time of the win. Jeesh.

we played Vandy twice though so this will help our computer rankings more than hurt, plus we beat them on the road also

[Youngsta71701]

No, it's not.  Those measures are always as of the current day.  A win versus a Top 25 team in December may be meaningless in March if that team's ranking drops.

I believe Deeznutts is right. South Carolina was a top 25 team at the time we beat them. That is what they go by.

I believe Deeznutts is right. South Carolina was a top 25 team at the time we beat them. That is what they go by.

Dont think so

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

No a big deal. it's still a top 50 road win and it probably puts Vandy back in the RPI top 50. Which is also good for us.

I am quite positive of the opposite, Youngsta.  For example. check the current record breakdown for Arkansas from CBS:



Those numbers change as the individual ratings (rankings) of the teams on Arkansas' schedule change. I can't speak for every rating out there, but most of the ones I've read won't credit a team with a Top 25 win at the end of the season if the team beaten doesn't end in the Top 25 (or 50, or 100, etc). 

If Deez was correct, CBS would still have Arkansas with a Top 25 win.

Unless I am mistaken this clearly reads against RPI top 25 not top 25 rankings, when the committee looks at our resume' there will be a top 25 road win regardless of where USCe finishes.

[Raymond Zorback]

Deeznutts is right, for top 25 ranking wins they go by ranking at the time of the game.  That doesn't mean it's still a top 25 RPI win. 

I was looking at South Carolina's schedule on ESPN last night, it shows them having wins against #25 Michigan and #18 Syracuse.  They are still showing those teams in the top 25 because that's where they were ranked when SC beat them.  They're obviously not ranked now.

It's at the time of game. We have one win against top 25 opponents.
