Up to 5 from 8 earlier in the week. And it is effectively 4 with the Fairfield outlier. Everything has finally fallen into place.

We're likely to stay there IF Oregon States beats 'Zona again today. Plus, Arizona plays Dixie State (whoever in the hell that is) next weekend so their SOS is going to take a hit. Dixie State has a RPI of 230+......
Never even heard of "Dixie St". WTH!Quote:

All of that was in the early part of the 1900’s. Someone with better knowledge can expand but not sure it ever had anything to do with the confederacy? I guess it could since some did flee out west after the civil war.Quote:

That combined with the fact that many of the settlers of the region came from the Southeast led to that part of Utah being nicknamed "Dixie". I'm surprised the cancel culture hasn't came after the name yet.Quote:

Mild is an understatement lol. There's an old joke about St George. If the devil had a house in hell and a house in St George, he'd sell the one in St George and live in hell because it's cooler!Quote:
