Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3045995, member: 4946"] Playing in a tough conference like the PAC12 or ACC puts you in more of these tricky no-win situations where you are playing a team somewhere between 15 and 50 in RPI and you will get no credit for winning by 30 but slammed if you lose. That's why I think the sheer amount of top-50 wins you rack up does matter somewhat. UConn has certainly had some underwhelming performances against lesser opponents (Oklahoma, for example). If they had had one of those games against a stronger team, they might not have been to pull through with a win. They just haven't played as many of those games. I think Oregon is still #2 if Hebard will be available for the tourney. If she's out, that could be tiebreaker that puts UConn ahead. It's very close, though, and I would have no problem with UConn at #2. [/QUOTE]
