it doesn't matter, but prior to the game we were sitting at an RPI of 83, after the win we're a top 50 team, sitting at #50. The loss to Morehead State hurt us, but it's still nice to be where we are heading into MVC play

our strength of schedule also jumped from 70 to 34 after this game, that is more impressive

That's real great. I believe prior to the arriving in Hawaii our RPI was above 100. Would like to see where our SOS has improved to, too.
 
With ISU now in the top 50 RPI, that makes 4 MVC teams in the top 50 RPI, CU, WSU, ILS, and INS, so that's good.
 
yep non conference RPI is all good and well.. need to capitalize on it though for it to mean anything. We are in the top 50 for now but we need to beat the Illi st, UNI, CU, WSU of the league to stay there. Lets doooo itttt!!
 
ISU's non conference SOS is the best in the MVC at #34, that helps with tiebreakers I think?
 
By Sagarin, ILL ST would be favored Sunday. This is another big game for us. Must defend home.

Heading into the Diamond Head Classic, our RPI was in the 170s and SOS was in the 180s. RPI is now 45th and SOS is 33rd as of this AM.

over on warren nolan, RPI is now at 54 and SOS is at 40, still tops in MVC barely, CU is at 42. Next 3 games are vs. the # 40, 118, and 16 RPI ranked teams. Plus CU will be the 4th ranked team ISU has played this season already
 
ISU's RPI went up a little last night. IUPUI and New Mexico were winners, so that helped our RPI and SOS. RPI is back at #50 and SOS is now at #32 over on warrennolan.com, it doesn't matter what our RPI is, just interesting to see where it is.

If we can win 2 or 3 of our 1st 3 MVC games it will take a big jump too as we play 2 teams with higher RPI's than us (ILS, CU) and one just barely over 100 (UNI). Our SOS should increase with these games
 
So, now that we see how much our RPI has improved with our Hawai'i trip; how much does our game vs Truman (nee' Northeast Missouri) State HURT us?

games vs. non D-I teams don't affect RPI, but our loss to Morehead State had a bad effect, however, the Morehead State (RPI @ 190 now) loss won't be as bad as the hit it will take just by playing Missouri State (RPI 331, lower than Chicago State)

It all evens it's self out in the end. Win the games your supposed to win. Steal a game or two your not supossed to win. Avoid the play-in game and let the rest of the chips fall - seems simple enough huh?

At the end of the day, our RPI isn't really going to matter. It's nice to have a positive jump no doubt.
 
any hopes of an at large bid for us is going to hinge on how we end the season, it seems the past few seasons we have gone on long losing streaks in January/February. It would be nice to avoid a 5+ game losing streak this season in MVC play.

20 wins could be possible with 11 MVC wins, 1 bracketbuster win, and a win in the MVC tourney. Not saying it'll happen, but it is possible.

When I talk 20 win season I'm talking without wins in St. Louis. Those have little impact on your ability to make the Big Dance. See MSU a few years ago vs. us and the year prior. Win over 20 games, make it to the Championship and still miss out.

20 regular season games will not happen and thus RPI won't really matter. 3rd or 4th in Valley play doesn't even put you in the at large conversation.
 
it's interesting to look at teams ranked in the top 25 that are ranked below ISU in the current RPI, it'll all change once conference play begins, but we're in front of some good team, such as Kentucky. And look at Notre Dame, a top 25 ranked team with a SOS of 290
