Richmond moving from Quad 2 to Quad 1 is entirely possible, as well. It’s not a win, but if you ask major conference schools the number of Quad 1 games is, for some reason, also important regardless of outcome (ie a school with a 3-6 record in Quad 1 is more impressive than a school with a 2-1 record)

That Richmond game was very interesting and I think about it frequently. It's shocking that Richmond is so low in rankings compared to where they were. Maybe teams have done a better job prepping, and know all of their tricks by now. But I'd be shocked if they don't make it into the tournament.

Drake at #27 and Loyola at #55, the disrespect for mid majors and Loyola specifically is ridiculous.

Yeah, that's messed up. I guess we'll have to explain it to them this weekend

He has always been a shill for the top conferences

Surprised to see that. But glad!

Amazing that with a record of 0-0 we're still holding the 22nd spot.

Totally floored by that. I kmew Seth Davis dropped us off his ballot, so I figured others would too. Maybe the voters saw our Saturday game and thought we'd do the same on Sunday.

I think it is acknowledgement that playing two games on the road against a quality opponent is difficult. I don't think losing in overtime by 1 point the day after you torched them by 27 is viewed as a bad loss.
