Hypothetically what would our RPI jump if we beat IU tomorrow?
20 points?

Good question. It wouldn't jump that much would it?

20? are you kidding me? Virginia took all of a 7 point jump from beating the #1 RPI team. It's not going to happen, let go of the dream and accept the NIT reality.

What does a person have when they have absolutely nothing else? Hope.

That was a HOME GAME, which counts for much less.
Plus when you are higher ranked it is harder to go up faster...Iowa is 90th....it is an honest question and if all you want to do is complain about someone asking a simple question don't bother to respond.

Yeah, fair and simple question. No butt hurt needed. 20 seemed high but I don't know enough to know how much they would gain.

Chill out dude. All he asked for was what our RPI would be. Some people on here need to relax.

I'm not sure but I think this qualifies as a 3rd degree filter violation. (Naaa ... just a typo)

About 15-18 spots I would guess. RPI forecast has are final RPI at 64 if win win 3 in a row. That can change of course up or down
even if win win all 3 based on our past opponents performance.
Side note : I really hope Fran learns how to manipulate the RPI next year, because it can be done. He can play the same amount of winnable home out of conference games and have a much better RPI. It would also help if teams on are schedule like Virginia Tech who are playing well early don't completely fall apart later.

I would expect a 12-15 spot jump with a win over Indiana on the road.

what I don't get about the RPI is how the clowns are looked upon as such a better team than the hawks. how is possible??? Iowa beat ISU, ISU has 1 (maybe 2) quality wins, plus they lost to Texas Tech and Texas--two ****** teams. I just don't get it. Plus the Big 12 is a joke.

This is the problem with the RPI. Iowa is getting killed in the RPI because 5 of the teams they played have an RPI of 310+. If they would have played teams slightly better (150-250) we would be significantly better in the RPI.
In the RPI, playing ranked teams #180, #181 and #182 is considered tougher than playing #1, #325 & #326. It is a very flawed system with seems to have more critiques every year.
I wonder what our RPI would be if those 5 teams had RPI's between 200 and 250? It seems like that is the only thing separating us from other bubble teams right now. If that's the case then I'm not sure what's more annoying. The fact that a system so flawed has such a huge impact on who makes the tourney or that they didn't account for this when they made the schedule.

If those 5 teams that average about #325 in the RPI were 5 teams that average #225 (average 100 points better), we would be about 20 spots ahead of where we are now. Another problem with this season is some of the teams that we played early in the season were playing much better then. The Virginia Tech game really hurts us in the RPI, as they were suppose to be a semi-strong team but went on to go 5-16 after beating Iowa and Oklahoma in back to back games.
In defense of Fran, especially this year, it is hard when scheduling to know which teams are going to be 'just bad' or 'really bad', which makes a significant difference in the RPI. It does not make nearly the difference in other formulas, which is why we are so much better in the Pomeroy, Sargarin, BPI, etc.
