Iowa was the biggest mover in RPI last week

[ColumbusHawk]

We moved up to 11th in BIG. WOW. Getting exciting.

RealTimeRPI.com still has the Hawks at 12.

20 wins is the magic number for us since we have such a good record vs. the RPI top 25 and 50. Slip up in 1 of the last 4 than we need 3 in the tournament. The key game is Wisconsin because they will definitely be top 50 RPI at selection time. That would give us anywhere from 4 to 8 RPI top 50 wins depending on what Minnesota and Northwestern do from here.

I just pointed out that RealTimeRPI.com still had Iowa 12th in the conference. I don't know why I have rocks in my head?

Obviously, the site did not have Iowa moving to 11th place.

We are discussing the potential rise in the rpi if we beat Wisconsin. All else being equal we can potentially move 20-25 spots with a win. I could care less if we are7th, 8th or 12th in the big ten.

I'm personally not on the Iowa misses the tournament if they win their last 4 games bandwagon yet.

We'd have an ok but not great RPI and there is a good chance that would put us in the top half of the strongest conference in the country with a strong finish. I think the committee may actually consider us in that scenario.

Did you see in the Seth Davis thread that the committee can look at Sagarin, Kenpom, Sokol ratings when comparing 2 teams? That will be huge if it comes to that.

Look at Dayton, Cleveland St, Arkansas, Miss. St., Central Florida, etc.
We are ranked higher or close to these teams right now.
