Would like to see Vandy upset UK. We probably need Bama to beat LSU for RPI reasons, but I just don't think I can cheer for them to win on the road. Ole Miss? Would be great if Tennessee pulled an upset today, but I don't see it happening at Florida. One of you rpi guys tell us who we should pull for today.
Who we pulling for today in the SEC?

For the minor bump in RPI<div>
</div><div>Alabama/LSU won't make a difference in final RPI, but I agree root for Bama so they stay in the RPI top 50 and give us another (hopefully 2) top 50 RPI wins on their resume.</div><div>
</div><div>Having said that, if we lose to LSU next week, we may wish they had beaten Bama, just toguaranteeLSU's RPI stays in the double digits. We don't have any sub-100 losses on our resume and we need to it stays that way.</div>

If they don't drop any of their last 5 games against sub-75 opponents, they should rise into the top 50. That would help our resume too.
Now they are one spot in front of us at 33. They've lost 4 of their last 5 and are playing their way out of the NCAA Tournament. We need them to get back to winning because they are our 2nd best best win on our resumeright now.
They claim that it is a much less flawed system than rpi, and I don't know whether that's true or not because I study neither. Maybe one of you rpi guys can take a look at both and give an objective opinion. However, the first thing I notice about ESPN's ratings is that USM is down near us at 33 (we're at 39), which I think is much more realistic than the #10 rpi that the buzzards have. Seeing them up that high with the schedule they have has made me lose all respect for rpi this year, among other teams whose rpi is sketchy. Thoughts?
