Warren Nolan has that win taking us from RPI #51, to RPI #38. We are 2-1 vs RPI top 25. Perhaps more importantly, we are 12-0 vs RPI>100. We all thought that Akron loss would go as a "bad loss," but currently their RPI is up to #75, and the more WE win, the better their RPI goes. Ideally, they finish in the top 100, and we then don't have a "bad loss" on the season yet. The only "bad loss" possibilities left on our schedule are Georgia, @SC, and the series with Auburn.
We need A&M and Arizona to get it going. Neither one of them can be considered a "quality win" at the moment. Need Az in the top 50 and A&M to crack the top 100. Currently, we have played ZERO teams in the RPI 26-50 range. A&M has 13 of their final 14 games against RPI top 100 teams, while Arizona only has 6 top 100 teams remaining.
If things go correctly, and we just win the games that we SHOULD win, I think we could easily finish with a top 25 RPI. This would make us a 4-6 seed in the tournament, and actually set up with a pretty good shot at a sweet 16, especially IF we can get in as a 4....
