Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2030956, member: 199"] Maybe not, but do any of the Pac12 have a win against a top 15 team that is not part of the Pac12? That is my issue with the Pac12. Only a few of them played decent OOC schedules, and they lost the games against the 'good teams' in those schedules. Oregon State - only top 50 wins OOC are Quinnipiac and Marquette 49 and 43. Wahington - one OOC win against Missouri at #30. UCLA - lost to SC and Baylor and wins against # 29 Michigan and #50 Iowa. Stanford - beat TX and lost to TN (and #78 Gonzaga.) And then AZ State with a 24 RPI and best win is KY, and losses to Maryland and Marquette and has lost 6 games in conference.) None of those records is any more impressive to me than Maryland. RPI completely falls down when looking at 350 teams and pretending that a top ten quality team that plays an OOC of RPI 100 range teams is twice as good (or in anyway better) than a top ten team playing RPI 200 range teams - top ten teams should be able to write their own scores against either of those sets of teams. And because you have over-inflated those OOC RPIs (win or lose) you now compound it with everyone playing each other in conference, again win or lose. Arizona State has an RPI of 24 with a record of 4-7 against top 50 RPI teams. (And Aubrun right behind them at #25 has a record of 2-8 against top 50 teams) And TX played 5 teams OOC in the top 100 RPI and went 1-4 with the one win against TN at home. They have three top 50 RPI wins against conference foes OK, KSU at home and now Baylor which is the only really good win in the whole of their 17 game streak. Compare that to Baylor who have lost their two top 10 RPI games but have played and beaten UCLA, TN, and DePaul in the top 15 RPI and Ohio State at #31 as well as the KSU, OK. [/QUOTE]
