RPI shift

Re: RPI shift

The Southeastern Conference jumped over the ACC and the MVC to move to #2. The MVC is #3, and ACC #4, but all 3 are as close as they can get.

Bradley's RPI is 33 on realtimerpi.com

I'm seeing the MVC as still in the #2 spot?

Code: 
1	  Pacific-10 	 0.5901	 0.5565 	1 	10
2	  Missouri Valley 	 0.5854	 0.5556 	2 	10
3	  Southeastern 	 0.5854	 0.5458 	4 	12
4	  Atlantic Coast 	 0.5852	 0.5476 	3 	12
5	  Big Ten 	 0.5706	 0.5406 	5 	11
6	  Big 12 	 0.5674	 0.5323 	8 	12
7	  Big East 	 0.5608	 0.5328 	7 	16
8	  Mountain West 	 0.5547	 0.5225 	9 	9
9	  Western Athletic 	 0.5149	 0.5047 	12 	9
10	  Conference USA 	 0.5114	 0.5051 	11 	12

Edit: Nevermind, was looking at wrong column, they're tied 8)
 
Yes, the late games must have had some slight effect, and now the MVC is back at #2, but 2,3,4 are all tight.

What is really helping us this year is the fact that the teams near the bottom in the MVC have a decent rpi. As long as each one of these schools continue to get a win every few games (depending on who they play of course) their rpi's will continue to be decent. Most of the so-called power conferences have a couple of stinker teams that may help keep them down and below the MVC. Question: does anyone have a feel where they think the MVC will end up? I think probably #5.
 
KenPom is usually the most reliable in my eyes.

Everyone was saying our CRPI would jump when we get to start to beat each other up and feed off of each other's high RPIs. Well, guess what: Conference season for the other guys are underway, and they get to do the same thing that we've done for the past 2 weeks: Beat up on each other to boost our SoS. The MVC just happened to get about a 2-week head start.

My honest guess: BracketBuster will kill our chance to finish in the top 3 and we'll have to settle for 4th. There just simply won't be enough good opponents to fill our schedule all the way down the line.
 
Valley now 4th

Valley now 4th

The MVC has dropped to 4th on realtimepri.com. It would be great to stay ahead of the BIG conferences (Big Ten, Big Least and Big 12). That would prove that the Valley has really "cracked the code" as it were.

The 2,3,4 teams are all very close to each other, and the order will likely continue to shift for the rest of the season based on how the teams that the MVC, SEC, and ACC do with their remaining games. Plus, the MVC has the bracket busters games that will have an impact. Right now, it's looking more like those games could be mostly a negative factor for the MVC, since the opponents they'll get amostly have lower RPIs.

The key in the BB is to win all (most) of the road games, since they give your RPI alittle boost.

There is a good chance that all the MVC teams will be in the top 100 when the BB is played in FEB. Hopefully everything shakes out right and all the MVC teams face off with teams that are also in the top 100 or atleast near it, thus not hurting the Conference's RPI.....and with winning most if not all the road games......helping the Conference RPI.
 
Not sure where they get their "RPI" ratings from, but TeamRankings.com has the Valley as the #1 conference as of 20 minutes ago!

.5894 - MVC
.5863 - SEC
.5824 - PAC10
.5816 - ACC
.5694 - BIG10

12. Missouri St (12-3) 0.6411
17. Southern Ill (11-4) 0.6307
24. Creighton (11-5) 0.6195
32. Bradley (11-6) 0.6040
35. Indiana St (10-4) 0.6004
45. Wichita St (9-6) 0.5872
47. Northern Iowa (12-4) 0.5848
95. Drake (8-7) 0.5432
98. Evansville (9-8) 0.5429
103. Illinois St (8-7) 0.5406
 
With today's games already included, the RPIs for the MVC teams presently look like this:

RPI Rk Missouri Valley Conf All RPI SOS Rk SOS
9 Southern Ill. 4-2 12-4 0.6435 10 0.5878
15 Missouri State 4-2 12-4 0.6309 15 0.5808
25 Creighton 5-1 11-5 0.6163 27 0.5717
33 Bradley 3-3 11-6 0.6027 8 0.5934
36 Indiana St. 4-1 10-4 0.6000 64 0.5467
54 Wichita St. 1-4 9-6 0.5824 26 0.5726
57 Northern Iowa 4-2 12-4 0.5815 115 0.5204
104 Evansville 2-4 9-8 0.5335 80 0.5372
106 Drake 1-5 9-7 0.5327 88 0.5341
118 Illinois St. 1-5 8-8 0.5270 84 0.5359

So with Drake and SIU winning, it has boosted BU's RPI a bit to 33, and ISU is now in the cellar at 118.

BU's SOS is still in the TOP 10.
