As of this moment, IMO....

Last 4 in.... Washington, Houston, Ucla, Syracuse

Next 4 -- Nc St, KState , Louisville, Arkansas

USC lost 2x this week
Boise lost to RPI 147 team.
Marquette won at Seton Hall, but then lost at ST Johns, dropping to 5-8 in conference
Temple beat Auburn/Clemson on neutral site. Have RPI of 39. But 10 losses, 7-6 in American

Off the Chart above, I have no clue why Lunardi has Michigan as a 6 seed in latest Bracketology. Only 4 of the 19 wins are Q1/Q2 and their non con SOS isn't real good (258). Both of the Q1 wins are on the road (Sparty, Texas) but more like a 10 seed.

Louisville is very similar. 18-8 and only 3 wins in the Q1/Q2. Lunardi has them with a 9. I think they are a fraction away from being in a play-in game. Basically the same spot we are in

Maybe they factor in coaching prowess. ~~Our~~ Your coach has made it to the round of 32 exactly once in the last 12 years

The Cow Pokers beat KU and WVU on the road; so they aren't puds. Is the win last night considered a quality win by the Braktrium? Did it push us past the Fartbubble?

the TCU thing is kind of weird especially if we sweep them in league play and have more wins in conference and in total than them.

At some point they have to slide. Their tier wins and road record doesn't compare to those around them. They should probably still be in right now, but they should be down on the 10 or 11 line.

last week RPI:

TCU: #27, 11-8 vs top 100
KSU: #66, 7-8 vs top 100

today RPI:

TCU: #27, 11-8 vs top 100
KSU: #56, 8-8 vs top 100

it's crazy that another top 100 win raised our RPI 10 spots, even though AFAIK we didn't swap the 4 worst teams on our schedule with anybody. it's almost like if we get 3 more top 100 wins, we could have pretty much the same RPI as TCU! wow!

it's crazy what happens when you get 6 noncon top 100 wins (TCU) instead of 1 noncon top 100 win (KSU)

wetwillie · « **Reply #2043 on:** February 15, 2018, 10:44:16 AM »

Do you consider TCU to be a better team than KSU mocat?

I mean, no one is arguing that KSU's RPI should be higher or that TCU's should be lower. Obviously it's a computer function. The question is whether TCU deserves to be an 8 seed with their resume.

our resume looks a lot like virginia tech's.

We're probably going to eliminate Texas at home.

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #2048 on:** February 15, 2018, 11:18:22 AM »

Lunardi latest came out today. TCU a 9 Ksu 10 Texas last 4 in.

10 seeds thru the last 4 in are overall seeds #37 to #46, then I have Kstate at #38, Tcu #40 and Texas #45

Texas next 2 games are at Ou and at KState. They appear to be on their way out. Baylor next 2 are at home vs Tech & WVU.

Very similar.

Our Non Con SOS are both awful
We have 4/4, them 5/3 on the Q1/Q2 wins
5 of the 8 Q1/Q2 wins are on the road
Both 7-6 in Conf. And 8 overall losses
Both have 1 loss in Q3 Tier
We have more wins vs Top 100
Their best wins at Virginia, Vs NC better than our OU win
