RPI Update

RealTimeRPI has us at 15
CollegeRPI and RPIratings have us a 19. Somebody here said CollegeRPI was more accurate, so we'll go with that one. I think the difference is that realtime has the Mexico games as away instead of neutral.
Currently, the team is 16th in Jeff Sagarin's ratings. We're a bit higher in his ratings because his formula takes strength of victory into account.
Our SOS has dropped to around 56 everywhere. collegeRPI has a projected RPI, that assumes all games will be won by the team with the higher RPI. Ours is currently 21, which isn't bad considering we have some MAC patsies left + Chicago state OOC (269). The MAC is the 12th rated conference, whereas it's 19th on the Men's side. Ball State (13-2, 4-0) being around 40 and us being high are probably the biggest difference there.
As far as polls go, #15 Georgia lost to Tennessee yesterday. Not sure if that will drop them much. #16/#17 Marquette lost and should drop, but #19 Texas A&M beat #9 Baylor, so they might jump us. Baylor did lose to Oklahoma this week also, so they might drop to within striking distance. we'll probably still be 17 or 18 in both polls this week.
