    Yep, and Ole Miss has actually moved up one to 8th.

    You pretty much have to wait until the end of all the games being played on any particular day before the RPI actually settles. And with as many West Coast teams as we had on our nonconference schedule, that usually ends up being pretty late.

    RPI doesn't take into consideration who you beat. You can win vs #220 rpi or #1 rpi and the result will be the same. It does take sos into consideration. The home vs away ratio is skewed towards away wins too much.

    Winning 2/3 at home basically just holds serve, unfortunately. On the road or a sweep at home and that changes things. We win tomorrow the Bears will fall and we will rise. Win 2/3 at Fla and see huge jump

    Good thing is our SOS is up to 30 according to Warren Nolan and it's going to continue to climb substantially over the next couple weeks.

    I have been clamoring for some tougher OOC opponents, but after he SEC gauntlet we play, our SOS will be pretty solid. I would think we finish in the top 20 in SOS

    You're the one who claimed it was 'very flawed' so I was asking how it is flawed. Saying 'it's very flawed, prove to me how it isn't' is not really a point.
