RPI

This exerpt is from Excite Sports:

RPI TALK: If the Mustangs are going to get to the Big Tournament, they probably need to win the conference tournament.

Right now, their RPI stands at No. 85 -- No. 40 generally is the cutoff point for at-large bids -- and their 140th-ranked strength of schedule isn't real likely to improve over the remainder of conference schedule.

That pretty much explains our position, thanks Pony Fan.

How does the RPI affect this, as opposed to the Sagarin ratings (where we're a little higher)?

NCAA selection committee uses RPI, not Sagarin, when considering a team's strength for at-large bids.
