Middle Tennessee is the only team in the top 20 RPI aside from UNCW not actually ranked in either top 25 poll and the only team not receiving votes in either poll in spite of beating UNCW.

I guess we have to go 32-0???

Two years ago we finished the OOC with RPI of 7, no love for mids.

You can thank CUSA.

At this point, they should probably be thanking me.

At home, no less, belch. Those guys may get 2 into the big dance this year.

But Indiana can have five losses including one to IPFW and three straight, seven of their 10 wins come against teams with RPI's of 275 or worse but can still be in the top 25.

Life is good in the P5, yo!

Look at UT Arlington. They've won 11 straight, including wins at Texas and St Marys, and haven't had a bad loss all year. They're not receiving any love in the polls either.

Very similar to MTSU situation. Their loss at FGCU is their worst but the win at St Mary's is impressive. With CUSA being pretty bad this season it is like an albatross around the leaders neck.

UNC Wilmington hasn't had a bad loss but they've only beaten 1 team in the top 100 (St Bonnie's at 95) and the rest of their wins have been against 100 and 200+ teams. How are they getting votes? I don't even get how they have such a high RPI.
