With the season still in its infancy, our RPI is currently ranked #110...
- Thread starter ptrich
- Start date
Although, Tennessee is #13 so doesn't hurt as badly to lose to them as to others. I think losing 1 to Memphis (#235), and playing to others poorly ranked (Cincy at 275 and Butler at 238) might have hurt us more. But that is overall kind of concerning, that the only team we have played with a high RPI, beat us badly. BUT, it is very early. Those numbers will be totally different in a couple of weeks.....heck, after this weekend, they will change quite a bit.
I keep forgetting how screwy RPI is. Losing to a good team is actually better than killing a bad team. Whatever.
As I'm sure most if not everyone knows, this is very fluid and changes as game scores come in. At the time I posted this, IU went from 110 to 104 in just a couple of minutes based on the scores coming in.
Things can get a little nutty the RPI system early on. Xavier, with a 5-8 record, is at #6 right now.
From here on out with the conference schedule kicking in, most of the games will help, not hurt the RPI if we take care of business. A win tomorrow over ISU, #6 RPI, will help some.
With the dust having settled from last weekend's action, our current RPI is 22, with our SOS at 27 and our nonconference SOS at 28.
