Not to , but the RPI is not a reliable metric and is likely not even going to be one of the determining factors for the selection committee anymore as they are probably going to use ratings such as the BPI/KP/Sag ratings as the basis for their selections/seedings soon.

Actual ratings that matter (not that they are markedly any better so whatever the point is that you are trying to make likely still prevails):
BPI 231
Kenpom 220
Sagarin Predictor 216

Also, CAA conference ranks:
KP 12th best conference (above MAC, Sunbelt, CUSA)
Sag 12th best conference (above MAC, Sunbelt, CUSA)

I can't tell if this is an anti-CAA thing, an anti-Lou Rowe thing, or an anti-administration for hiring Lou Rowe thing. But I'll play along. Here is our RPI, record, and the CAA conference RPI (for the years I could find it). Feel free to add info if you know it/can find it. Time is limited at work.

2017 - 252 (9-23) CAA: 11
2016 - 106 (20-11) CAA: 9
2015 - 157 (19-14) CAA: 20

2012 - 261 (12-20) CAA: 14
2011 - 90 (21-12) CAA: 9
2010 - 240 (13-20) CAA: 13

Not sure how it could be an anti-CAA thing (even though he does specifically mention the CAA) when the CAA is one of the highest rated mid-majors and is rated higher than the Sun Belt, the MAC, and C-USA in both of the major metric-based rankings (Ken Pom and Sagarin).
