RPI Discussion.

Says 53

I'm sure you've said this a thousand times, but what is your absolute lowest RPI that you think we still get in?

That I think we get in no doubt, or that we'd have a chance?

 

[volgrad500]

At least solidly on the bubble

<55

:good!:

RPI moved up 1 spot to 51, Wake Forest is also creeping closer and closer to the top 50, will be something to watch.

 

[volgrad500]

I'm not sure how accurate that cite is honestly. They've updated our game, but not Xavier which was over earlier and which is going to impact us

They updated Xavier?

 

[Shaun1985]

We can afford to split with mizzou and possible lose to bama at Coleman and still get in if we win the rest. I think Mizzou will be a bubble team by the end of the year so a win away would do wonders. Its possible the SEC only gets two teams in. Does anyone know the lowest amount reppin the SEC in March? Three is the lowest number I'm aware of.

I looked about an hour ago, still wasn't showing loss to Providence. Does it now?

EDIT: Now they are showing Xavier with 6 losses, while ESPN has them at 5 after today.

Am I assuming correctly that given their conference they have a much easier shot at improving their rpi?

Yes & no

They'll have to win some games, but they'll have more opportunities to win big RPI gaining games than we will.

 

[Goldencuonzohut]

Mizzou a winner over arkansas. This may seem by but if we beat mizzou once or even twice it will be a quality win

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Up 7 spots to 48

 

[LocoVol]

RPI better than 50 and you're likely in, better than 45 and you're pretty much a lock.

AS A HIGH MAJOR

Thanks!

Up 7 spots to 48

If wake beats the cuse do we go up Anymore?

 

[SJAVol32]

If wake beats the cuse do we go up Anymore?

Yes.

That would help a lot. I don't think it will happen sadly.

 

[rocktopper16]

Yes.

Seen your reply in the other thread,&#128074; thanks bro. Ncstate about to pick up a W too.

No problem bro and yeah gotta keep the wins rolling. I don't think LSU helped up too much last night since we lost to UK before but just keep rooting for teams we play twice in the season and OOC opponents we've beat.

Down 7 with 5 left. Good game. Watching it on Espn buzzer beater.

44 as of this AM, win tomorrow and we're into the 30s

This is one we can lose and not completely tank.
Will they seize the moment or bounce back into lala land.
The pattern has been a really good game and then a limbo performance.
Which TN will get on the bus?
Martin can't coach but he can create drama. Should have been a screen writer.

I won't touch the Martin can't coach comment, all I'll say is this. If he couldn't coach he wouldn't have his team on pace to finish in the top 5 of a major conference for the 3rd year in a row. He may not be the best coach, but he's far from the worst, and that's evidenced by the last 3 years.

Now...as for tomorrow's game. It's a big opportunity game, not to the level of @kentucky or @ Florida, but as you mentioned it's technically a game they COULD lose and not be a season ender. However, this is a game they should win, a game that if they want to get ahead of the bubble need to win, and a game that quite frankly they ought to win.
