I changed up the layout a little to show each teams’ history in a snapshot. There is a reason NCAA doesn’t publish rpi for several weeks, so there is more data in the equation. So going forward there wont be as much variance week to week. But it will show how a conference can help teams and hurt teams. Dayton sitting at 15 right now should be good enough to hold up above 35 which is at large bid territory if we need it. After the NCAA rpi is published Oct 1, I’m going to put out a comparison between the final 2010 schedule rpis vs this year’s. Initially I thought this was the toughest schedule UD has ever put together. After a quick look, I was wrong on that. I remembered playing at MN and NE, but I forgot we played ILL that year and we beat UNI at MN. I remembered that victory, I just forgot UNI had a top 10 rpi. And the A10 was stronger that year. So right now we are behind 2010, but I’ll post the comparison.
Dayton - 55-19-112-40-14. Good news is we have the worst two rpi teams in the A10 this weekend, so we get the biggest hit out of the way early and we play each team only once. We need the strong rpi teams we’ve already played to WIN and keep winning.
Marshall - 193-246-204-135-178
Ball State - 120-78-212-198-148
So AL - 133-177-175-221-133. Nice rebound. Would like to see them stay above 150
Kansas - 20-317-66-55-42. Need to stay above 50
#20 Kentucky - 4-246-86-52-33. I think they will be back in Top 25 before it’s over.
College of Charleston - 49-78-148-76-65. Hoping they get above 50
Miami - 66-78-59-123-135. Top 100 finish is possible.
#13 Washington - 8-317-20-6-6. TOP 10
#9 Pittsburgh - 28-19-19-2-5. TOP 10
Kennesaw State - 42-19-110-61-70. Top 50 possible. Should win their conference.
RV Tennessee - 88-19-53-106-72. Hoping for top 50 finish.
Evansville - 275-19-140-219-198. Hoping for top 150 finish.
Ohio State - 45-19-35-24-34. Big10 will help them even with losses. Expecting Top 25 finish.
George Mason - 276-305-319-307-310. I think they only play the top 3 A10 teams once, so not sure they get out of 300, but I’m hoping for something better than 280.
George Washington - 237-305-270-277-258.
Davidson - 255-78-132-86-81. God Bless Davidson!
VCU - 35-242-131-161-173.
Duquesne - 180-309-185-224-211.
LaSalle - 234-177-261-177-229.
Fordham - 246-74-203-224-210.
Rhode Island - 186-246-280-185-199.
RV Cincinnati - 124-78-43-29-61. Needs to bounce back in conference after weak foe weekend.
Saint Louis - 157-246-225-225-249. They should get 2 wins this weekend against GW-GM. If not, Miller might be out on Monday.
