With BYU the only other RIP in the top 50 it is beginning to look like the MWC may not be a 3-bid league. I know things can change, but right now who would be a serious at-large team except UNM? BYU would be in the consideration, but based upon conference tournament upsets may or may not be in as of today.

It would be an up hill struggle for SDSU, TCU, or Utah today.

i would have expected a bigger bump after beating byu on the road and considering we totally thumped texas tech who is ahead of us...i do see a lot of teams on the upper part of that list that we have played and mostly beat...

[loboray]

Ouch!!! NMSU, 249. Air Force 283. That hurts. We play both twice.

[Lobo2x53]

At least they aren't in the 300s. And CSU is only 204.

I am surprised about NMSU, it was obvious thet weren't as good as last year's senior laden bunch, but I thought they looked better than that the two games we played them.

AF on the other hand is bad this season. Really, really bad.

[Lobodawg92]

Yep, I was shcoked to see where them thar baggies had fallen to. I thought they would be better than that. Hope they get it together in conference and play well. Two games to them along with AF and it hurts the rpi.

[zoom]

gotta be some bias against the aggies...they are far better than air force and they are far better than their ranking here...

[Lobo2x53]

Zoom,

I haven't looked at their schedule but that might be the problem--who they have played in agrigate. You are right, there is no comparison between the two teams. NMSU would win by 25+. I thought all three of NMSU's starting guards were fine, with two of them good players. At best AF showed two players who might develop in a couple years.

[LIDOakaLJT]

At least Air Force plays in the 8th best conference this year.....NMSU is in the WAC, 22nd best conference in the nation (or, in sobering terms, 11th WORST conference in the country!).

Note that RPI doesn't care whether the game is home or away. Also, we are now late enough in the season that one game has only a small effect. Finally, key for all this discussion: what matters most to OUR RPI is the won-loss record of our opposition, not their RPI. Our RPI profits from playing teams that win, even if their wins came against against so-so competition such that their RPI is so so. Of course winning helps a bunch!

CollegeRPI.com does an RPI projection that does take home and away games into account and by their method we would end up top 25 RPI and league champs!

True on the women's side(home or away), not so for the men I believe this was changed a few years ago.
