I don't buy much into any ranking, really, be it RPI, Pomeroy, Sagarin, it doesn't compare to being able to follow a team, who they play, and how they play. Temple is underrated in Pomeroy's system because of a couple bad losses, on the road to Richmond and Dayton at home, because they weren't at full strength. Explain to me how Temple handles SLU on the road, Duke at home, and they're still 16 spots behind SLU.
You're right SLU will get an at-large, I will admit that, but they are not in the same class as Temple right now, that's all I really mean.
