Drake can help too. They play Wichita State on the road, whom they have already beat. Just playing #11 RPI Wichita State will move Drake up, and subsequently Iowa.

Pretty much any of our non conference opponents can help by winning. Who would have thought those early season wins against Chicago St and Northern Illinois could potentially come back and bite us?

I dont have a crystal ball, but i think 75ish is possible. Looks like the Wisconsin win increased our RPI 0.0069. Now home games are multiplied by a 0.6 factor where a road win is more than double with a 1.4 factor.
Here is my guess as to where our RPI would be assuming 4 wins in a row:
Currently 126
RPI 104 - Illinois on the road +0.013
RPI 97- Nebraska on the road +0.007
RPI 85- Northwestern at home +0.005
RPI 80- Minnesota neutral +0.006
RPI 79- Losing to Michigan or OSU on neutral +0.001
= 0.5581 increase which right now is an RPI of 79 where Minnesota currently sits.

Yet Iowa is labeled as "good wins" here.

Iowa has a long way to go. The Hawk's adjusted winning percentage is still below five-hundred at .465. In contrast, Cincinnati, which was sitting at 82 at the beginning of the week has an adjusted winning percentage approaching seven-hundred. Going into today's game the Bearcat's winning percentage is .683. Or over two-hundred points better than Iowa's.
Also, Iowa doesn't want Michigan to win because the Hawk's only played them once. Purdue's victory over the Wolves was beneficial to Iowa. Why? Because the Boilermaker's winning percentage counts twice as much as Michigan's. The fact that Iowa lost twice to Purdue and beat Michigan is irrelevant in determing the Hawk's opponents' winning percentage. Likewise, Iowa wants Wisconsin to win today because Iowa played the Badgers twice & the Bucks only once.
The only way Iowa will gain anything in opponents' winning percentage in conference play is if teams Iowa played once lose to teams Iowa played twice.

Stormin' let's calm down. Remember your post last week about Iowa moving up fifteen places. Well, they only moved up four places.
Everybody should just calm down & wait for the NCAA to release the official rankings every Monday. Most other sites are highly inaccurate. Partial information, wrong results, etc.
Now if Iowa is 116 tomorrow, then maybe you can get a little excited.
Here is the link.

Everything else is smoke & mirrors. All they want you to do is spend your money to get the accurate results. Though, CBS Sports is pretty good.
After all, the offical results are all that count!

It's pretty cut and dried. Iowa has to win their next three games and their opening round B1G game to have a chance at a bid.

if we go 9-9 , we will still have a shot if we win 3 in the btt (lose in championship).

Jon, even if this happens I think the RPI is still important. You really think they take a 19-14 team with an RPI in the 90s as an at large? That first round BTT game could be Penn State or Nebraska.
Hopefully they keep winning so we can keep debating this.

I've used realtimerpi all season to keep a constant look at an rpi. They did move up 15 spots, and another 10.
I also use Pomeroy as a basis too (I like his rankings best and always have)

I agree.
Or, if they go 2-1 to finish the season, they'll need to win at least 2 in the BTT to get on the bubble.
