The American Athletic Conference is really weak as a whole this year, which is why Connecticut is ranked 23rd in the S-Factor right now. Since Louisville is no longer a part of the American, it can't really be argued that the AAC is better than conference RPI would suggest.
Connecticut's RPI will not suffer too much this year, since the Huskies will play many tough non-conference opponents this year. But they will be saddled with a women's basketball conference roughly as challenging as the Colonial League. It will be a huge disappointment if the Huskies don't run the table, but even that might not be enough to improve their standings in the S-Factor.
