We are almost a month into the college basketball season and there is some encouraging news from several of the ranking services. While no MAC team has cracked the top 25, or are even receiving votes in the two major polls, some of the teams are climbing up the computer rankings, which is good news.
The Buffalo Bulls have climbed up to number 19 in the RPI. While the committee no longer officially uses the ranking as a way to come up with their at-large bids, they are still an important part of the process. A top 25 ranking in the RPI doesn’t guarantee an at-large bid, however it’s usually a good indicator.
