Then there is that little game tomorrow that either Florida will win by 15+ or we win by 3 or less.

Yea that's tomorrow, the ones I listed are tonight :hi:

It was just my way of saying how I feel the game will go and if Tennessee does what the players are capable of their rpi will climb. If they play to our coaches ability our rpi will plummet.

Nothing that happens tomorrow can cause our RPI to plummet, but ok.

Virginia just keeps on winning, way to go Cavs

Lol calling UVA the cavs is just weird for me. I mean it makes sense it's just weird

Haha sorry

 

[sport3500]

Wins over Florida and Missouri would help the RPI a lot.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Haha sorry

Lol you don't have to apologize, I was just saying

 

[SJAVol32]

Win over both and we're in pretty easily as long as we don't lose the rest of our games.

 

[gunner]

The Vols need to win out to get off the NCAA bubble IMHO.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

I think a win over Fl would probably get us off the bubble. We can't really lose to a terrible team but a win over FL would do a lot for us. Jmo

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I think winning at Missouri may actually be more of an increase in RPI than a win at home over Florida, but it would be close. Obviously the win over Florida would look much more impressive on our resume though.

What's your definition of "the bubble"? Anything worse than a 3 seed?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Fell 2 spots to 49. Last chance for much of a move is Saturday, win puts us into the 39-42 range IMO.

This is my definition of a bubble team.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

This is my definition of a bubble team.

So 49ish range is bubble team?

So if we win Saturday we are better than a bubble team? Or are you not gonna give an answer at all?

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I would say don't hit that 50 line or dicey. 68 spots and like 18-20 or so automatic bids for conferences with little to no chance for at large spots. That leaves close to the 50 mark down and sometimes a committee skips over a couple rpi bubbles if there is a team a little worse but better wins or whatever criteria for the group weighs heavier a given year.

We are a bubble team because, we win a game or two and lose a game or two. The only consistency is our inconsistence play which equals a team on the bubble.

Didn't he also say UT was in last season and the one before that?

 

[ShowSomePride]

I really want to believe ya'll, I do. I have like $200 riding on Tennessee making the tournament, but I just don't have faith anymore.

Don't remember but he's usually pretty accurate
