just a reality check, just like after the horrific ending to Fresno & lost week in Vegas was an overreaction
we are still in that bottom quad of D1 teams
San Diego & Portland are frankly putrid teams, San Diego one of the worst teams in D1, and closing vs. them wasn't a sure thing
still can't fathom the Portland loss, in teh rear view mirror now yes, just goes on teh permanent record, that and the Fresno State loss (another bad team) are killing the rating, not that anyone is that concerned aobut that, given the start to the season, was nowhere to go but up
Bakersfield thrashed Portland
it's been a nice confidence boost, and now Riverside begins the set of stern tests. Riverside rated about 130 vs. Beach anywhere from 230-325 (yikes, those Portland & Fresno demerits)
the SOS is down to 109 due to teh Dec opponents, still one of the better Big West non conf schedules
so while beating up on the sisters of the poor, UCSD and Irvine are beating top 100 teams, on the road.
just keep improving, and see what happens over time and players making strides, with teh trajectory still up.
Riverside and Bake on the road will see if now can parlay the confidence now against better quality opponents.
