I wouldn't be surprised if our RPI is sub 100. I think it will probably end up in the 80's. Unless we go 19-3 the rest of the way with those losses coming to either Texas A&M, Florida, and LSU.
Just have a winning record in the conference and it's a good chance that we're in the tournament...
We need a couple wins in SECT. If we play like we are capable, we can win the rest of the series. Must win last 3 non conf.
I don't study rpi at all. If we go 3-3 against aTm and florida, how much of a boost should we expect?
Winning these first 2 games this weekend just makes me more pissed that we let the USA game get away from us after they handed us a 5 run lead. We are still going to have to win a number of these SEC series coming up against ranked teams to get our RPI into any kind of shape to have a chance at postseason.
In 2010, when we went 6-24 in the SEC, we finished with an RPI in the 70s. Yes, our non-conference was tougher that year, but it goes to show what playing in the SEC does for you. If we can get to .500 in the SEC, we'll be fine on the RPI.
We have moved 25 spots in 2 days.
Where are we?Quote:

Need to beat memphis tooQuote:

It has now dropped to 113. Will never understand the wild fluctuations with that formula.Quote:

Just impossible to predict how much or in what direction your RPI ranking will move until very late in the season.Quote:

As the SEC goes on and we all keep playing each other, we keep raising all of our SOS / Opponent SOS ratings. We'll all climb in the RPI just by playing each other.Quote:
