SMU, WSU, and UConn.

My understanding is that Sagarin measures margin of victory. A two point loss to ORU as a 12 point favorite is a -14 Sagarin. TU has not closed out routs and given up Sagariin MOV. I know he lists the top 25-50 but I don't think it's relevant to his formula.

There have been years when TU's Sagarin was significantly better than its RPI.

Sagarin was more favorable to TU in the WAC and CUSA.

It's interesting we're getting hammered on our bad (sub-100) loss to 140 ORU but Temple is fine with their losses to 124 Memphis and 181 ECU.
Cincy only has one bad loss to 124 Memphis
UConn has no sub-100 losses.

What I can't believe, is that ORU lost 7 games in a row, is one game away from a 6 game losing streak, is 3-8 in a fairly crappy league, and isn't a helluva lot lower RPI than 140! I guess we're doing a lot more good for them, than they are doing bad for us, 'cept it's kinda circular!

If we don't get an at large I would blame it on UALR and ORU. Both winnable home games. Our RPI is currently #41 according to CBS Sports if Tulsa wins both of those games our RPI is #27.

Go TU!!!!

Sadly, I am reduced to rooting for ORU to finish out on a 3 game home winning streak.
