Big Sky RPI: 12-14-09

Ok technically the RPI were taken from 12-15-09 because I was too busy to do it yesterday.

Over all the Big Sky conference men are doing surprising well again out of conference teams, and has maintained a rating of between 16 and17 or better most of the season. The two poles are starting to match up with their order of rankings of the nine teams. They seem to like Montana and Northern Colorado as the top two teams, with Montana State occupying the third spot. The one anomaly in this week’s poll is Portland State who jumped from the last place spot in the ranking to the top BSC team on the Realtime RPI ranking. They made a very significant jump in the Pomeroy Ratings but not nearly as dramatically. They should be the team to watch the next couple weeks.

On the Women’s side, Eastern Washington is holding firm with one of the more impressive pre-conference runs in recent memory. It looks like EWU could be the surprise team of the conference this year.
