[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 150795, member: 322"] It's a lot harder to get in than 70 RPI since of the 64 teams, 31 are from conference champions many of whom have poor RPIs. Last year I believe we were on the bubble of the NCAAs till we won the ACC tourney. Regardless, here's a really neat compilation of what it takes to get into the NCAAs from an RPI point of view and even more interesting, how conferences do once they get in. But focusing on getting in: 2014 ..... [B]you could miss with a 40 RPI and make it with a 54 RPI.[/B] "The highest pseudo-RPI ranking without a bid was West Virginia (40), but they had a record barely over 0.500 and were 6th of 9 in conference with a conference record below 0.400.
