Austin Peay could turn out to be the best team in the ASUN and not a pair of RPI-killing losses, but I doubt any of the other teams we've played will help us at all.
Even if it is I don't think many of us expected to host anything this year. The RPI's of our SEC opponents should be very high. LSU, Arkansas, and Texas A&M should easily be top 20 and very likely top 10. A win or two there helps. Most SEC teams we play will be in the top 50. Except maybe Mizzou and Ole Miss.
So at the end of the day it comes down to SEC wins and how we do there. We just have to make sure we win enough OOC games to stay over .500 which we likely will.
And like basketball your last ten games count. Meaning Mizzou is way more potentially damaging than Austin Peay no matter how they end up.
I'm guessing that unless we tank again we end up in the top 50 RPI more than likely if we play up to our potential as a team.
