True, but the "1" was a 92-50 loss to UConn, which gives you an idea as to what UConn's conference schedule is like. That may well have been the Huskies' closest conference game.

Close - right now it's 38-point win over Tulsa, but at that point it's sort of angels dancing on the head of a pin.

Anyway, South Florida is an interesting case - they're 17-4, 8-1 in the AAC, currently at RPI 19. They have 5 RPI top 50 wins, including one over RPI 22 Oklahoma early in the year, and no really bad losses, but two of the wins are over Tulane, which doesn't figure to be an RPI top 50 team by the end of the year. Right now I'd put the Bulls into the tournament, but I'm wondering if being in the AAC will drag them down in the end.
