Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Bears @ the Pentagon
RPI gives you a lot of credit for a tougher schedule. Buffalo, who we beat this year is a great example. They are currently 30th in RPI. They have no statement wins with the best being Toledo and Ball State, but they also have very few bottom feeder wins which can drag you down.
We dropped in RPI after our last win because of the quality of opponent. The WAC did a good job of scheduling high RPI losses this year and therefore are 14th in conference RPI even though NMSU is the main team of note this year. This is why the selection committee has already talked about de-emphasizing RPI.
If they do truly work on limiting the impact of RPI then we can almost forget about a second bid coming out any conference past the top seven. It will be very difficult to overcome a power 5 team that has 20 games vs. Power five opponents compared to our three.
