					<description><![CDATA[Gabe, happy holidays and thanks for your interests. To your points...

It was nice to see Coastal knock off LSU. While their 10-2 record is nice, 4 of those wins have come against sub-D1 competition, and their ranking of 166 on Kenpom isn&#039;t all too impressive. Even still, they are one of the top dogs in the Big South this year.

The bottom five teams in the rankings, as well as the last five that are left out, are always very comparable each week. I can tell you that VCU was on the cusp of being left out of last week&#039;s top 20, and they will almost definitely be on the outside looking in next week. I really like the Rams, but going 4-4 in their last 8 games is not great.

UAB and UTEP are definitely two upper tier teams in the CUSA. Although I still think UCF, Southern Miss, and Memphis (the Tigers are real shaky though) are the three best. 

If UTEP knocks off BYU, and UAB is very competitive with Duke, I will become bigger believers. 

GMU is better than you believe, I think. They beat a very solid Harvard team in the season opener, and have won 6 straight games. Sure, none of these teams were great shakes, but they have beaten them all handily. 

Plenty still remains to be figured out prior going into conference play.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Coastal Carolina rep. Hahaha. 

UAB looked good over VCU tonight. 

UTEP has also been quietly rolling recently, since losing to Georgia Tech late in November. Won 6 in a row, taking out a pair of BCS teams (Michigan [themselves a quiet 9-2, losing to Syracuse by only 3] and an admittedly miserable TTU team). Their game on the 23rd @ BYU will be crucial. 

Not sure what justifies having GMU on there at all. No good wins and losses to the only half-decent teams they&#039;ve played (NC State and Wofford).]]></description>
