Re: CBSSportline.com RPI: Owls #61
Here's why:
It is based on the SOS of you and who you play. At the early stages of a season, many top programs play an easy schedule so those lower level programs can have a higher RPI and if you are not playing anyone, a top team can be rated lower.
The top programs that play top programs early are usually at the top and then you can find all kinds of programs listed.
But it is a realistic snapshot of what is happening at the moment, and from that perspective, it sure beats being at #261, which we have been on many occasions.

thanks for clearing that upfauowl said
RPI has great credibility, however, it doesn't really show the whole picture until everyone gets into their conference schedule.

OWLS WITH A TOP 100 RPI
This team has got the opportunity to do something special this year.
I think Siena is going to be a tough road game tonight, they're well coached and should be bouncing back. Hopefully not yet though. It would be another big win.

OWLS in the RPI...
Tonight should be an interesting matchup. I think its going to be a tough game but 100% winnable. Actually this will be the toughest nonconference game left on the schedule.

Siena is good, their just having a bad run. I'm worried about Siena tonight. They're much better than their record.
If DePaul wasn't in the big east, we would look past them. USF is better than DePaul

Hmmm…….
While they do shoot only 25% from downtown, and are not a good rebounding team, not sure I agree with that notion…
Saw them play over Thanksgiving break…
They are rebuilding, but believe me Purnell will have them in the hunt quick enough.
