Re: Robert Morris 13-14: CHA no longer a one-team pony
I confess to having no idea what to make of Robert Morris at this point. I'm putting them at #6 in the posters' poll but the variance on everyone after #5 (and maybe after #4) at this point is extraordinarily high. The plus for RMU is, obviously, their won/loss record. They're beating the teams that they're supposed to beat. The negative is that their schedule isn't full of quality opposition:
The split with BU looks pretty good, but BU isn't a team without lots of warts of its own at this point;
The split with Mercyhurst means less than it would have in previous years, as this is a team that lost to OSU, split with Minnesota State, and dropped three points to Cornell;
Syracuse is pretty much living off the afterglow of beating BC as the rest of their results are pretty uninspiring;
Splitting with Rensselaer might be good and it might be bad and I have no idea which.
So Robert Morris is good but I really don't have a good feel with where they fit in relative to teams in other conferences.
