[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1003806, member: 3164"] Agree. It is WAY TOO EARLY to care about RPI. We need at least 3 more weeks, probably more like 4 or 5 before RPI becomes reflective of team strength. That said, when it becomes late enough for RPI to matter, the board in general should remember that RPI is simply a mathematical formula. It can be gamed somewhat by playing a really tough schedule (see Notre Dame) with most of those tough games being on the road, but other than the complaint about the "good loss" (no such thing in my mind), it is simply reflective of how good your team has performed and how well your team's opponents have performed, with a little bit of weighting towards playing tough teams away from home. Even with UGa's sweep this weekend they have a better record than us, with more games on the road, and only one series against a laughably bad opponent as opposed to our two. They should be ranked higher than us. As several on this board have bemoaned in the pre-season, our non-conference schedule will not allow us to make the NCAA tournament without at least a .500 record in conference, and likely we need a winning record in conference.
