thats the most recent RPI by teamrankings.com
our RPI jumped substantially. If we win out, where would it likely end up?
IF we won out, I would say it would jump to the high 40’s or 50’s simply being that we would have to beat GW at the end of the season as well as the A-10 tournament. That is a huge task. If we lose to GW and win the rest of the games, we still have potential to move up depending on how everyone else does.
Somewhere in the 50-60 range perhaps?
Our actual RPI (using the formula that the NCAA uses) is 97. Even if we won our last three regular season games, we will probably still be in the 80s or 70s at best.
Last year, the worst team (RPI-wise) to get an at large bid was NCSU (65). The got hot at the end of the year, made a little run in their conference tourney, and snuck in to the NCAAs. We will have to do something similar this year if we want in (and that may net even be enough). Once we get in, anything can happen as we saw with NCSU who went to the sweet 16 last year.
We can make it to the tournament if we win 3 games in a row.
Of course, the 3 games I’m referring to are in the A-10 tournament.

Those ar the three that killed us… we’d be in prime position for a bid if we could have won those. Every year we have a few losses that leave me scratching my head…:wacko:

And interestingly enough, when Jay Bilas talks about “bad losses”, he defines them as losses to teams with worse than a 200 RPI.
I’m not going to stand up for that Turd we laid in Richmond, but the point is, RPI wise, our losses arent THAT bad. There are close to 140 teams rated BELOW Richmond. Its the 9 total losses thats been killing us. We need to improve our winning %. Our SOS could have been better too, but thats not our fault - no one could have foreseen Wake, IU, Davidson and Miss St sucking all in the same season.
