$200 answer:
The RPI gives the team that beats Harvard this description and then gives this description for losing to Evansville which is just one spot south of Harvard in the RPI ranking.


$400 answer:
This conference is rated #1 by the RPI even though it's non-conference victories against the top 8 teams in other basketball conferences and leading contenders in mid-major conferences is a horrid 8-15 (3-8 vs. the PAC12).


$600 answer:
This non-Big XII school could be given the Big XII Regular Season Championship for going undefeated. They beat Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and West Virginia.
(Okay, this isn't an RPI quirk, but if you're a major basketball conference will somebody tattoo an "L" on them, please!)

School A had zero non-conference games against teams of the Top 8 in major conferences or leaders of mid-majors. No, not wins. Not even games played against.

School B was 2-1 in those type of non-conference games.

$200 answers: Quality win and bad loss???

Don't make fun of my wrong answers Alex, I don't have the right answers in front of me.
 


$400 answer: Mountain Rest

Which is what I did to your mother last night Trebeck.

$200 - What is a "quality win" and "bad loss"?
That's right. 48 hours ago Nebby was a bad loss. Now they are a quality win. Sunday morning, Nebby will once again be a bad loss. Harvard a "quality win"? :rolleyes:

$400 - What is the Mountain West?
Nice job. PAC12 > MWC = MWC #1. That RPI thing. Quirky.

$600 - Who is Gonzaga?
Guess they won't get an invite to the Big XII if they keep this up.

$800 - What is Middle Tennessee State?
Southern Miss is a good guess. But far below this powerhouse's #22 RPI.
The RPI must be figured on a youth soccer league mentality. You get rewarded for losing.

$1000 - Who are Ole Miss (A) and Iowa (B)?
Ole Miss' resume is similiar to the 7 other SEC schools that are on the bubble, bubbliciously close to the bubble,
just off the bubble, having a bubble-butt bubble, blowing a snot-bubble, and the 6th degree of separation bubble.

Iowa's schedule is tougher than Ole Miss'.
Ole Miss has two losses against 200+ teams. Iowa zero.
Ole Miss has one win against 1-50 team (Missouri). Iowa has three against teams that are "in" (Wisky, Minny, Illinois).
Ole Miss' other conference good wins are against other bubble teams Tennessee and Bama. I'll take that comparison.
