The MVC has been in 10th place in conference RPI much of the season, but recently moved up to 9th place. Now the MVC has closed the gap between them and the 8th place conference, the Atlantic-10, and are close to climbing into 8th place. If the favored teams win in the MVC tournament, it will help the RPI.
