St. Mary's (2015-2016) - 26-5, 38 RPI, 148 SOS
St. Bonaventure (2015-2016) - 22-8, 30 RPI, 81 SOS
Colorado State (2014-2015) - 26-6, 29 RPI, 111 SOS
Southern Miss (2013-2014) - 25-6, 34 RPI, 132 SOS


Why cherry pick these teams? They've all got decent RPI's with bad SOS's. Good win totals (except for St. Bonaventure, but they had a better SOS), and none got in. There's at least 1 example of this a year.

According to RPIforecast, ISU currently has a projection of 36.3 RPI, 123 SOS. That would lump them in this group without any good wins on the resume.

If ISU runs the table? Projected at 27-5, 23 RPI, 111 SOS. Better RPI than the above, but the same general grouping. Still, no good wins on the resume. Missouri State carries the torch with a 21 RPI to not get in... ISU just needs to continue to play well and focus on St. Louis. That's the best hope any Valley team has right now.


This is true, except that ISU would have two top 50 wins against WSU.



Are you basing your top 50 RPI ranking for WSU as by season's end with the RPI forecast?


That's correct. RPI forecast predicts them to be top 50.

CBS Bracketology has ISU in as a 12 seed playing Minnesota. That would be interesting....

LOL.

I think they should have McDuffie sit this game, just to even it out. Kidding

Do you think the selection committee will take into account games McIntosh misses just like they are doing for Duke for Coach K?? :roll:

Yeah. This never made sense to me why they have taken that into account in the past. It's not like they will ever "lessen" the quality of a win because the opposing team is missing someone. Injuries happen and they suck.

It's nice to see SIU at the 3 spot and silencing some of their haters. Big game at UNI coming up for the Dawgs.

VERY BIG Game. SIU will be extremely close to wrapping up a 3 seed with a win in Cedar Falls!
