SAE karma.

SMU now lucky No. 13 in RPI

looks like we stick at 13

guess beating 6th place team even on their home court doesn't help RPI. Anybody know if that is considered a home game for RPI analysis. Satisfying nonetheless

There was too big of a gap in RPI (as opposed to RPI rank) to move up. Coming into the tourney SMU had a chance to move up to about 10th in RPI, but needed UNC, Iowa state, Baylor and Maryland to lose a game earlier than they did in their tournaments to pass those teams.

9th toughest OOC SOS, I think that is 306 spots better than last year.

I have been wondering if that was a road game or not. I will be able to check tomorrow as I have an excel file where I track it.

13th RPI means we should be a 4 seed. If the NCAA really uses RPI we should be a lock for a #4 seed. RPI was used against us last season after all. I know it won't happen, but it should.

SMU just moved up to 12 on LIve-RPI. It must be a bit of a delay, despite the name

Sweet! So theoretically we should be a 3 seed.

Out of conference strength of schedule was used against us last year, this year they will say not enoug top 50 wins for a 3 or a 4.

RPI probably could have gone higher if we beat Cincy I guess

RPI up to 12.

Is there a new ranking coming out tomorrow? I bet we go up one spot to 19. What do you think?

I like it but just to tap the brakes a bit, we are getting credit (early in the season) for beating two teams that were a lot better last season.
