I can"t believe

I'd kinda like Florida to beat UK today (even though we'd be 3 instead of 2) because it would help our rpi a bit and also set up good matchups for the sec tourney (we'd most likely play Miss St in the first game, which would help the rpi if we win, then we probably get UF in the semis, who we already know we matchup well against and would also give our rpi a boost)

If we get 2 .006 bumps and that's generous, here are some of the teams above us and in range that need to lose for us to get to mid 50s.

Texas, St Jos, Miss, Nevada, Miami(Fl), VCU,Seton Hall, Belmont, Akron, UCF, NC St, marshall.

This isn't counting the teams between 76 and 65.

Can you pick 10 losers to get from 65 to 55?

Bearing miss st would look good IMO

Cal- does Florida winning help our rpi that much?

Everyone you mentioned!!!

I'm going by rpi forecast, they have been absolutely spot on and are saying 57 with 2 wins. I don't really care how it happens, as long as that's where we get.

Are you factoring in neutral court? I don't know the formulas and what not.

I looked at that this morning.
Not sure the conference section has been updated.
Didn't make much sense.
Watching the trends.
Some teams in conference t play have gotten .009 bumps. others.006 or less.
Zansdad can probably tell us. I think he's already posted it though.

I've said it all year. There is only one maybe two games that this team SHOULD have won, being AP and UGA (but it was on the road in conference, so that becomes the maybe). Charleston is one of the best mid-majors along with Oakland, so losing those two at the time really wasn't that bad based on this team. There have been several games that they COULD have won, but given the circumstances, it is very hard to say that they should have won them. This team has exceeded every expectation and has been incredibly fun to watch. Take care of business in the SEC (win 2) and then play in whatever tournament selects them. Successful year, overall.

The benefit would be miniscule. (spelling?)
Ain't gonna happen anyway.
A lot of teams have beat them 20 minutes.
40s another story.

RPI Teams 50-75:

50: Oregon- should lose in pac12 tourney
51: Miami- should lose early in acc tourney
52: Texas- should lose early in big12 tourney
53: Xavier- will probably lose early in A10 tourney
54: S. Dakota St.- 50/50 on conf tourney win
55: Washington- should play well in pac12 touney
56: St. Josephs- should lose early in A10 tourney
57: Ole Miss- should lose early
58: VCU- should play well in tourney
59: Seton Hall- should lose early in tourney
60: Akron- 1 seed in MAC, beaten by buff. twice though and my lose again in conf tourney to them
61: Belmont- already punched ticket
62: Miss ST- most likely will lose 1st or 2nd round game
63: Central Florida- most likely will lose to in c-usa tourney
64: North Carolina State- will most likely lose 1st or 2nd round game
65: Marshall- most likely lose earliy in c-usa tourney
66: Davidson- probably win conf tourney
67: New Mexico State- may lose again to nevada in conf tourney
68: Cincy- most likely lose 1st or 2nd round game in BE tourney
69: Drexel- may lose to VCU
70: Ohio- 3 seed in tourney may lose
71: Weber St.- may lose to Montana again in conf tourney
72: Arizona- will most likely lose early in pac 12 tourney(they play @ a bad ASU team today)
73: Northern Iowa-done for year
74: Dayton- will lose in a10 tourney
75: Tennessee


i think atleast 15 of those teams fall of pretty early in their conference tournaments. the more that lose early, the higher tennessee can rise in the RPI. if those teams keep winning though, that will really hurt our RPI's chances of improving much.

yea Zansdad has them right at 65 with his math. his math had been right on with rpiforecast, except for this time so it will be interesting to see.

i think in any regard, we need as many teams as possible 50-74 RPI to lose as possible.
